Re: DM Davidson RAAF: any claims 33 Sqn?

With 33 Sqn I have a claim by a Sgt Davidson (no initials or nationality) on Nov 23, 1941 at 1000 hours, in the LG 125 area, of a Ju-88 probable, shared with a P/O Edy in Hurricane I Z4565 and Sgt Albert Edward Kelsell (RAAF) in W9351; Davidson was in V7772. Documentation: ORB: Air 27/367.

I have an additional shared claim (Ju-88 damaged) by a Sgt Davidson of 33 Sqn on July 16, 1942 (who may be a different person) between 1905 and 2030, on a sweep, from L.G. 154; Alamein line. This was shared with F/Lt L C Wade (USA) in Hurricane IIc BP186; F/O Maher (no initials or nationality) in a Hurricane IIc; and F/O James Wooller in xx523. Documentation: ORB; 211 Group OpSum: Air 23/1805.

Further, I have a claim by a F/Sgt Davidson (no initials or nationality) of 32 Sqn on March 25, 1942 East of Harwich between 1035 and 1145 in Hurricane IIc Z3830 "Z". Documentation: FC3; ORB. No idea of course as to whether this is the same Davidson.
Finally, the claim with 65 Sqn I have as by F/Lt D E Davidson (Aust) on Nov 2, 1944 at 1540 hours 15-20 m W of Minden, of an FW-190 damaged, in Mustang III FB114. Documentation: FC3; CR: Air 50/25-319&320. The "D E" could be a typo on my part, or a misreading of the ORB and/or combat report.

Is D M/D E Davidson's full name known? Service number(s)?

I hope this doesn't confuse things too much.

Frank.
