Hi Gentlemen,

1- Col, thanks, I do have full names.

2- Keith, great response, much appreciated, it looks like we have both been a
pair of sad wotsits as I have pretty well done the same as you since the 1960's and with the same published sources you mention starting with a listing of FAA Far Eastern claims in "The Cassidy Bulletin" which Chris Shores used to Edit way back then.
I will amend my my records accordingly and continue what is I suppose a labour of love in researching this subject.

Have you seen the book by David Hobbs " The British pacific Fleet"? is it worth the outlay. I guess John Winton's "The Forgotten Fleet" is still the best so far.

Thanks again for your input
