casualty reports at The National Archives in Kew, GB

Did anybody ever get the chance to look at an casualty report of the RAF from WW2? I think they are still not open to the public.
Any experience would be interesting...
Thanks

Good evening !

Which kind of casualty reports do you mean ?

The Bomber Command loss cards are open for the public. In 1996 they were on stock in RAF Hendon and open for anyone.

Best regards !

Hello,

Till now about 1500 of them can be ordered from 1939-august 1940.
You can find the Packs in Air 81!
