Looks like he served until 1972. He was certainly still serving in 1960:  https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/241003163?searchTerm=%22mervyn%20clive%20bishop%22

The number appears to be 4/9277, RAAOC.

If he continued to serve after WW2 then it is unlikely his records will be online.  You may need to apply and pay for them.

Thanks for the replies, I agree it's possible because he didn't retire till the 70s that's why I can't find his records online.
