Re: GAF Crash Arbroath 'ARBIRLOT' and Others 14/15th August 1940 Night and POW Reports
Hello Peter and Jim

Thank you for the information.

My information came from the Fighter Command Appendices TNA, Kew AIR 24/527 described as "OL Watch" which I presume will be "Observer Liaison Watch" at Fighter Command, which the PRO photocopied me some years ago.

These dated "OL Watch" raid reports at "Appendix K" in the Appendices are handwritten, signed and written on the back of Controllers Reports from several months earlier [paper recycling].

The Arbroath crash referred to in these "OL Watch" records of raids appears to have occurred in the early hours of 15th August which tallys with your 04.04, but you note the Cemetery records, record the 14th.

Thanks Mark
