Re: The destroyed or lost ORBs of RAF units in France 1940
I have the surviving logbook of a Battle Air Gunner and some of his Squadron literally flew back in aircraft that had been designated as not airworthy. I think Chris is correct. Getting the people out was challenging enough without worrying about paperwork. Several aircraft came back with ground crew stowed on board. They were pretty desperate times. ‘My’ man also lost his original logbook in France.
Do not forget that ORBs also tend to mention losses, which would have been sensitive information at that time.
