Amen to that, not to mention that a passage based on the following has been on my website since July 2012:
CX/JQ/220, paragraph 6
On 12/8 source saw a document giving instructions about tactics to be employed on flights to England. The assembling of bomber, fighter and heavy fighter units for attacks should so far as possible not take place over the coast, because the special enemy wireless stations (De Te Apparatus (sic)) will already be in action and reporting the assembly of the units, which gives the enemy fighters an undesirable advantage.
