Thanks for quick reply

[Horrido!]

Isn't most of this info easily available in Francis K Mason's Battle Over Britain?

[Norbert Schuchbauer]

An even better source is the Blitz Then and Now Volumes I through III.
It has all the info you are looking for.

no data for WNr.2693, obviously an error because 2693 should have been a D-1! I guess this is the one you're looking for

I Hope this helps you.
