I've been researching this air raid for a schools project for BBC Scotland Learning. I've now got quite a good picture of what happened on the ground in relation to damage, injuries and fatalities.

However I'd like to find out more about the attacking aircraft and the response from our own air defences. From newspaper reports of the raid it's believed that the four bombs 100lbs were dropped by a single plane. Would the target have been St Andrews - an extention of the Baedeker raids - or is it more likely to have been an attack on an airfield like Leuchars or Dunino that went wrong? I guess this kind of hit and run night raid would have been hard to defend against but what would have been the response? Are there records of ROC tracks or radar contacts? Would it be possible to discover if an intercept was attempted? Where would a raid on a coastal target near St. Andrews be launched from - Norway? Any help to get me started would be much appreciated.
