Re: Bristol Blenheim's
Spellings vary in documents of the time but Qotafiya seems to be favourite with the RAF; for the Luftwaffe, Qoteifiya.
Quote:
From ULTRA, on 27 September 1942: "Return flight of KF+UX to QOTEIFIYA uncertain. Arrival in BARDIA will be reported". (KF+UX was a Ju 52). On 14 October: "… it is requested: 1) That a transport aircraft be placed at our disposal immediately for a pressing transport of equipment from QOTEIFIYA to BENGHAZI and vice versa …" An Air Ministry Intelligence signal to RAF ME dated 12 November 1942 lists sites where German radars are thought to have been installed and this includes an "FMG" at Qoteifiya. (The hope was that German sets could be captured during the post-Alamein advance).
