PRO visit

Hi,

Is anyone going to the PRO in the next few days/weeks? I am carrying out some research for a workmate. His Grandmothers brother was lost on 25 October 1943 when the trawler he was on was sunk by an E-boat, S-74. There is an aircraft link to this so bear with me. On the night of 4-5/November 1943 while on mining operations off the Humber, S-74 was attcked and damaged by Beaufighters, there's the link.

Searching the PRO I found the following file ADM 267/118. In this file there are a number of files about various ships that were sunk by mines or torpedos.

So can someone look up the file 'ADM 267/118 William Stephen' and let me know if it contains any details of the trawler and its loss? Also how many pages there is. I don't want any copies but if it has the relevant details I can pass that on to my workmate and he can order them up.

Also does anyone know which squadron the Beaufighters were from and where they were based?

Thanks,

Alex
