Serial of aircraft lost by HMS Victorious in May 1941

Hello, I would like to know the serials of the following aircraft lost by HMS Victorious during the Bismarck chase:

25 May 1941:
Two Fulmars of 800 Sqn lost at sea trying to shadow the Bismarck:
One crew (Lt.(A) Brian Donald Cambell, T/S-Lt.(A) Matthew Gordon Goodger) lost
One crew (Lt. Francis Charles Furlong, S-Lt. John Edward Melvill Hoare) ditched and rescued the next day.

26 May 1941:
One of the three Swordfish of 825 Sqn searching the Bismarck just disappeared with its crew, Lt(A) Henry Charles Michell Pollard DSC, Sub-Lt(A) David Musk Beattie, and Ld Air Percy William Clitheroe DSM.

Another Swordish of 825 Sqn was lost on 25 May searching the Bismarck (crew rescued some days later) but I have for it a serial: V4337.

Thanks in advance

Laurent
