Another great place to find Crawley's formulas is in the British Journal
of Photography yearbooks edited by Geoffrey Crawley!

I wish I remembered what the formulas consisted of, but it's been almost 12 years since I last used them. I do remember that I used Crawley's a lot on the 320 ISO Tri X in 120 format. I always diluted it 1:3 and developed for around 16 minutes. The resulting images were glorious... if you're a detail hog like me.

Several Phenidone formulas will give you about a stop over D-76.
Microphen is very similar to D-76 but using Phenidone. There is a
numbered Ilford formula that is even closer. Xtol and T-Max RS are
also Phenidone with a speed gain over D-76 Kodak has a proprietary
version of Phenidone they call Dimezone (cheap part of the side
show).

DEAR BOB,
I am looking at the 3rd Edition of Anchell's
DARKRUM...OOPS...DARKROOM COOKBOOK and at the bottom of P 230 and
continuing to the top of P 231 there is Geoffrey Crawley's
formula FX 11 (1961) which is described as, "This formula
produces at least a one-stop true speed increase with grain and
sharpness similar to Kodak D-76". As it contains Phenidone and
Glycine as well as Hydroquinone, it is quite different from D-76
in formulation.
I need to see if I still have some Phenidone but I know I
have Glycine and HQ. Would be fun to try it.
CHEERS!

Tim, if you ever get the time and feel inclined to see what a
developer can truly do, you might want to get a copy of the dark
room cookbook and make some Crowley's recipes from scratch. I
don't remember the recipe number offhand, but Crowley's
replacement for D76 at 1:3 is the most killer developer I've ever
used. Vasilios Zatse, Irving Penn's last studio manager was the
guy that turned me on to it. It's miracle juice!

I would note that - then I don't have time to test - I
routinely expose
at 1/2 the rated ASA and underdevelop about 20% from
nominal. In the
case of my recent good HP5+ results, I exposed at ASA 200 and
developed
in DK-50 1:1 for 7 minutes.
