I've learned from the BBC website that Daventry was the site of the first BBC transmitter to broadcast to the Empire (long-wave, then short-wave), & was used for the first radar experiments, but was shut down soon after the war began & the broadcasts split among several new transmission sites. To the Germans, "Daventry" would have been synonymous with "BBC Overseas Service", whatever the literal truth once the war began.

I don't know how the losses given to the BBC were defined, & will never know -- the data are too sparse. But I have enuf info for my needs. Thanks again.
