92 Squaqdron May 1940 - Combat Report

Hot on the heels of my 92 Squadron photo request I am hoping somebody can help solve another 92 Sqn query.

At TNA, Kew, the Combat Reports for 92 Squadron apparently start at 9 September 1940 although I have been sent a draft of a CR for Plt Off Desmond Williams, flying P9374 after t/o at 17.20hrs on 23 May 1940. The reoprt is quite detailed and 'claims' one Me 110 destroyed and two probables. The question is; where is the original of this report filed? I cannot find it! My transcript, I think, originated with John Foreman but I am puzzled as to where it came from, unless it was a transcript from Kew before the large scale thefts that took place in the early 1980s?

Can anyone throw some light?

Andy,
On the microfilm for 92 Sqn CRs, it is Air 50/40-446&447. Mr O'Dell tended to put recovered documents at the end of a piece.

Enjoy!

Frank.
