ChrisG,

They are not just a good beginning - they are an excellent beginning!

Many thanks for your work on this.

[Chris Goss]

Nice that it accords with my list-thanks. I also have additional airfields added after this first list up to L10 957. Then of course you have the other targets (I have 29) which makes it a massive list (and project!)

[Nick Beale]

I've never made a note of them but there are some interpretations of target codes in 1940 ULTRA. They deduced that the codes were originally assigned by placing the target names in alhpabetical order and assigning numbers accordingly. That changed when new targets were added, seemingly just by assigning each one the next spare code number as they arose.

The attached pages come from the German Docs in Russia site, OKL pages, file Akte 100, frames 296 and 297.

[Chris Going]

Hi folks. Glad you like ‘em. The Aurfield section resumes with I think Luton, breaks at c 550, and resumes at 800 with mainly Scotland, NI and misc to a number around 927.

[Chris Going]

Nick; you mention the enormously wide circulation these reports received. Looking at the two page distribution lists (typically c 140 entries), one wonders why they never created an index of distribution lists (like for example K reports from ACIU) so you sign off with Distibution List 9C, or whatever. Talk about Red tape.
