Hi Mark,

The AVIA 5/19 etc at the TNA are a transfer of personal reference files from Vernon Brown and his inspectors.

That is why the pages are summary and incomplete. Think of them as a ready reference file used by those officers rather than the department archives.

As you say the full archive files were not saved but the full index file of incidents investigated by the AIB is:

Card Index from 1918 to the 1970s is archived in AVIA 126

This will tell you if they were called to investigate an accident

But getting back to the Beaufighter they were not and both Cause boxes were filled in F9 crossed out and in the box below F9 entered and ticked.

Regards
Ross
