National Archive for Luftwaffe attacks

I am visiting the NA shortly and was wondering if someone could advise on what files I should go to in order to get the RAF details of Luftwaffe attacks. Should I try Squadron records? I want to know the RAF response and what the details were of the actual Luftwaffe aircraft (or estimates of them). I am only interested on attacks on Glasgow. For instance two raiders passed the coast near Aberdeen on 19 July 1940 to attack Glasgow so would I go to the Squadron records for whichever Squadron was at Dyce for information?
I have been to the NA before but only for civil research. The military side and WWII is completely new to me there.
Any pointers gratefully received.
Thank you
Keith

Re: National Archive for Luftwaffe attacks

Best bet is the Group ORB & work downwards to stations & Sqns. I should say that the unofficial Dyce Combat Log I have makes no mention of anything on 19 Jul 40 (3 combats on 18 Jul though at 1438, 1905 and 2230 hrs)
