Frank,
It is a pleasure to have you contribute to the thread too! I am lucky in that I have all the books you listed, apart from "Spitfires", so I have plenty to work with. Now to find the time for it all! Once I am able extract the relevant data from the books, the gaps should be reasonably easy to fill through forums, since specifics of individual incidents can usually be found with the appropriate background knowledge.
I have sent you a private message on an issue related to this subject.

Nick,
Thank you very much, having the convoys specified helps too. Speaking of individual incidents, I was able to find a very interesting TOCH thread from last year by searching for CAF 31 -
