Re: Combat report 310 Czech Squadron

Combat reports, ORBs and other documents were filed in several copies, sometimes again multiplied depending on demand. Sikorski Institute has very own sets of documents for example, and I think remaining Commonwealth countries have their sets at their archives as well.

If so many copies were around why has N/A,PRO not replaced them in Kew? Strange.

Re: Combat report 310 Czech Squadron

I have heard conflicting stories as to what was stolen by Graves(?) and what was then recovered. Anyway, I suppose a lot of stuff was dumped or burned after the war, and only one set was destined for preservation. All the other copies available around are coming from collections of various RAF personnel, be it airmen or intel officers, who kept them as souvenirs. Why NA/PRO did not care to get copies of missing documents from other archives, I do not know.

Hi
Sadly I would guess cost,
You could ask the same, why there are, ( rumoured ) , apparently photos at the RAF museum un-listed/filed, supposedly cost again.
Cheers
