    Hello Guy,

    Link to a thesis by one Heather Williams here, it's a searchable pdf, ("Disclaim" brings up seven references, five of which relate to the operation, which may be of help to you maybe)

    https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/426649/1/9500510.pdf

    And, if you have seen it before, or are already aware of the snippets within, apologies.

    Currently looking through William MacKenzie's "The Secret History of SOE", if there's any mention of Signaller Chapman within I'll post up here.

    Kind regards, and good luck with your searching, always (example, of one of the bits from said pdf, below)

    Jim.
