Hello Peter and Larry

No, I was looking for any references to a specific 1940 night friendly fire incident in the AIR 2/8542; 2/7391 and 2/7167 files in our TNA at Kew, but no mention of any friendly, only unconfirmed or probable e/a. I have not compared them.

AIR 2/7167 Operational use of AI
AIR 2/7391 Night Interception summaries
AIR 2/8542 Night interception with radar aids

There seems to be quite a few in Autumn 1940 and I was led to believe that 1940 night intercepts were not that easy.
