G'day Drew,
Not quite what you want, but interesting background material nevertheless, on Sherborne.
As indicated in his A6769 File, he was, "Mentioned in Despatches". This is difficult to find in the London Gazette, as they have mis-spelt his surname, ie SHERBOURNE.

The LG does not provide a Citation, but here is the original recommendation:
Mentioned in Despatches.
SHERBORNE, Frederick Theophilus. Sub Lieutenant (Air) RANVR.
For distinguished service and gallantry during the invasion of the south of France and consistently good flying performance on HMS SEARCHER. In five operations off the Norwegian coast, he showed great skill and daring in pressing home attacks with effective results against enemy flak while providing close escort for bombers. In Operation DRAGOON he showed the same zeal but was unfortunately compelled to force land near Avignon with damage by enemy flak during his second bombing mission. In both, his skill and determination were conspicuous. He subsequently made his way back to Naples.

Although he is referred to as Frederick in various references, I believe his first christian name is in fact, "FRED".
His undigitsed A3978 Officers' (RAN) Personal File will also provide additional biographical material.
