817 squadron, HMS Victorious

Hi,

On 23 February 1942, HMS Victorious lost two Albacore aircraft from 817 Squadron. According to the Naval-History website these two were lost on air operations. 832 Squadron also lost an aircraft on the same day.

Anyone know what these air operations were?

I am interested in Act Petty Officer Thomas A Hibbs, who was in one of the two 817 Sqn machines lost. Anyone know his position within the crew?

Regards,

Alex
