These give a lot of detail on 89 Squadron's operations …

There are also a couple of other useful sources that you may already have seen: Again, if you don't already have these PM me and I'll send em over.

Hope this helps

Thanks Niall, these are things I'll follow up for myself at Kew shortly. I'd just cottoned on to searching for files with "Interference" in their titles, after exhausting "Jamming".

I get the impression from Ultra that a large part (possibly the majority) of Kommando Koch's effort around this time was ASV jamming
True. VHF R/T was also being jammed and both ground and airborne sources were blamed (ditto with ASV) and it doesn't seem there was enough capacity in the MTO at the time to definitely establish the source of each incident.
