Look like no-one got out of either aircraft, I’ve not checked CWGC entries for them so can’t say whether any were recovered or not.
If anyone is going to the National Archives soon and has time they could pull the ship’s log for HMS Furious for November 1943 and see what it had to say. I have a couple of pages from October 1942 from another Clyde visit but nothing further.
