Thanks very much for posting the link, the images are great. I don't know much about the RAF or aircraft so they really help me.

I have now managed to clean up the report a little in photoshop and decypher some of the text but it is full of abbreviations I don't understand.

It says:

On the night 14 / 15th February 1943 Stirling Mk 1 No ???? 214 squadron ????? 15 miles West of ??? feet heading ????.

There are some notes about visibility and so on then it says:

The engineer, Sgt Woodger, who was in the astrodome, reported a white light some distance away to starboard quarter which went out and then disappeared. After watching this light for several minutes, the engineer reported it was ????? M.U.G. Sgt Shipley then identified the A/C to be a T/E M/A, possibly ME 110 ???? a white light, probably on port side of ???. The presence of the white light made positive identification difficult. The H/A was at least 300 yards distant ???? on port quarter approximately ???? A/C’s height.

It ends by describing how many rounds were fired and says they weren't fired on or claiming it (I presume that would be a claim that they had shot it down?).

The question marks are bits I just can't read.

I'm guessing A/C is aircraft and H/A is hostile aircraft but what is M.U.G. and what could T/E M/A be (assuming I have read it correctly).

RSwank as you can see I just can't make out a location or where they were going if it is in there. I did find out via google that in early 1943 the squadron was based at RAF Stradishall near Haverhill in Suffolk but I don't know how close they were to that when this happened or if they were over enemy territory by then.
