Dear Drew H,
Thank you for the Australian connection on Sandery and Waters
It seems that the Malta squadron had many pilots from the colonies (so to speak) i.e. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Rhodesia at that stage of the War. Some of the photos I have may have them present. By the way I have included a download link below if you want to have a go at the Brize Norton early 1942 class photo:

Have started to view A.J. Clayton's service record. I heard back from the Australian War Memorial society and they have confirmed that no logbook exists from A.J. Clayton. I got lucky with sgt broadhead and they provided me with a one page scan (one of the only ones that were left) from May 8th, 1943 with extra search details. My only chance is to search out family/descendents of Clayton and other pilots who may have the logbook in their possession. And so continues to quest...
Cheers for for all your help mates! Jamie
