25 OTU May 1942

Hello, Forumites
Researching for a Dutch gentleman. Does anybody have the ORB for 25 OTU which covers the Cologne raid of 31 May 1942 and, if so, did F/L R F Jessop and crew fly on that raid? (Jessop and his crew were shot down the following night on the Essen raid in Wellington DV434).
Many thanks
Andy Bigweeker

Richard. One more question; was the Jessop crew flown on the Cologne op. the same as on the Essen raid? That Essen crew was:
Jessop
Nugget
Clough
Booth
Johnstone
Reid

Many thanks for your time
Regards
Andy
