looking for photos of notable pilots

Hello
I need to locate any photos on the following two pilots that flew operations in No.111 (f) squadron RAF:

F/O.Josef Prihoda Czech pilot with a score of 5 kills (4 individual + 1 shared) KIA March 6, 1943.

P/O. Grey Stenborg New Zealander pilot with a score of 14 destroyed +1 shared) KIA September 23,1943.


Thanks in advance.

Santiago

Next to me - second from right top row, October 1940, Wittering, No 1 Sqn.

Lovely chap! Makes me cringe to think that, at 19, I was leading him aroung the skies!! Hope he forgave me.
