Are there any 8 EFTS experts out there, looking for some data from 1941, and I believe the ORB might be at the National Archives even though it seems a bit vague. Can anyone confirm out there if they have used it, or better still, does anybody have any copies of the October entries for 1941?

Thanks Alan, but sadly this is RCAF, when I need RAF. I’ll go to the archives Wednesday morning and fish this ORB out!

Hi,
For 8 EFTS try the following link to Heritage Canadiana.
Records start at Image 384 and end at 490.

Hope this is what you are looking for,
Alan.

Not an 8 EFTS expert – though I have copied other TNA EFTS Books.
This link confirms Kew has the Operational record Book. Almost certainly it is a bound volume which would need to be copied with a digital camera, as the webpage says “This record has not been digitised and cannot be downloaded”.

The dates appear to cover 1935 to 1947.
Hope this helps, Tony Broadhurst
