14 OTU ORB

Hi David, welcome, I have just been approved for the site so am a newcomer!
I have a copy of the ORB so please feel free to ask whatever you wish. I also have the original non op crash reports for the unit. I would love to see more of your Dads log book and can probably fill some more information in.
Best regards
Tobin

Thenks TDP. Is there any chance of getting more information from you friend?

Just had this from a good friend who has the information from the 14 OTU ORB information.

‘The airfield Q site was attacked on the 12/5/41 by 2 Enemy Aircraft at between 2000ft and 5000ft. and dropped 6 bombs 3/4 mile north of the Airfield. The Airfield guns opened up but with no visiable result, all the Airfield lighting was on’

This guy will have been patroling in the hope of catching the invader.
Quite a story !

Hope this fills in a few more details David.

Regards

Jules

Many thanks Don, very informative.

Next time I am in England I will make a trip to Kew.

Regards, David.

Possibly tuning base frequency for a short time every 15 minutes to listen for a recall message in the event of unexpected weather deterioration etc?

I assume he was training as a W/OP AG? I would read that as a listening watch on some radio rig, possibly on the ground, additional to his flight.
