Hello Peter,
I had completely forgotten about my 'forum post' from 2007 and only came across it and your reply of August 2012 yesterday.
I had a look at my father's Pilot Flying Log Book from the dates you mention and his records show he was flying a few different Sunderland V throu 1956 but the most common aircraft number is PP137. Most of the time his co-pilot was Fg Off Mead. The log shows a last entry for Seletar March 15, 1957 and then there is a gap until July 19, 1957 when it looks as though he was stationed at Shawbury flying (training maybe?) on Anson's, Shackleton's, Provost and Chipmunks.
Fascinating hearing from someone who flew with him. I am hoping to send his log book and other documents to the Museum at Pembroke Dock sometime in the future, I am sure they will be well received.
Thank you once again. I will copy this forum entry to your email address.
Best wishes,
Roger Day, Nova Scotia, Canada
