I think this is it ! ..... scroll down ! P1344 and air crew 03-09-1942 http://www.stratcon-nz.com/intresting_articles/Long Flight Home pt 2.pdf
Oh wow, that is wonderful. The flights to Russia by the torpedo squadrons have featured in a couple of Australian books recently (owing to 455 Sqn's involvement). Jack Davenport, Beaufighter Leader by Kristen Alexander, and The RAAF in Russia by Geoffrey Raebel I have both books in my collection and recently read the former - which is very well written (highly recommend it to you, Annie) - but have yet to read the Raebel book. I recall some comment re losses encountered by the Hampdens on the way to Russia so will see if there's any reference to P1344.
