Re: War diary of Air Intelligence Unit(s) RAF.

I have been through an awful lot of AIR40 (Air Ministry), AIR37 (2 TAF), AIR23 and AIR24 (MAAF & MATAF) files with "intelligence" in the title looking for what you're asking about and the results have been disappointing. You seem to get either policy memos, "personnel occurrence reports" or detailed movement orders from one camp to the next (who rides on what truck) - NOT detailed discussion of each day's aircraft discoveries, sad to say.

As for Operations Record Books, there are Air Technical Intelligence Appendices to the ORBs of 2 TAF etc. The best seem to be those of No. 85 Group whose Intelligence Officer was obviously enthusiastic about his job - he tried to match crash reports with his Group's pilots' sortie reports etc.
