Thank you very much, Nick! Do you have a suggestion as to what German unit was hiding under the name "Air Transport Control"? The relevant ULTRA intrecept is also referenced in DEFE 3/769, as this Marinearchiv thread (already referred to above) shows:

I am not quite sure why the He 111s were confused with Ju 88s, perhaps this was a clerical error.

I have sent you a PM.

Warm regards,

Paul
