There was a search for Sydney and her crew. A later contribution places the beginning of the air search on 24 November, using six Lockheed Hudsons of No. 14 Squadron RAAF. That date makes the delay part of the discussion about missing survivors. It does not establish that anyone remained alive when aircraft reached the area.
