A Trip Is Necessary...

Dear Mr Byron Blake Estimate number: E457736 Thank you for contacting the National Archives with your request for an estimate for the cost of copies of records. Our preliminary examination of your request shows that specific information within this document is not easily identifiable and will require research. There are three ways for you to identify the material you want copied, assuming that it exists: 1. You, or someone acting on your behalf, are welcome to visit us to do the research yourself. Our staff will give you advice free of charge. For visiting details, please go to http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/visit/. The only payment would be if you then wanted to buy copies from our Record Copying Department or use the self-service copying facilities (where available). You can take photographs of documents using your own digital camera, under certain rules. For details of the options go to http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/recordcopying/. 2. You can hire an independent researcher to carry out specific or wider-ranging research for you, both at The National Archives and in other relevant archives. For details, and for a list of independent researchers who conduct research at The National Archives, look at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/irlist/. 3. You can use our paid search service, if you have a specific request: we cannot undertake wide-ranging research. We will reply to your request within 20 working days of receiving it, excluding any days between asking for and receiving your payment. For details go to http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/foi/research.htm . We wish you every success in your research, but please be aware that the records in our custody are not always complete: they were not created or kept for research purposes, but for use by the government or law courts of the day. We cannot guarantee that you will find what you are looking for. Sheila AnirudhanRecord Copying DepartmentThe National Archiveshttp://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/recordcopying/

UK Museum

There have been rumors of Luftwaffe gun camera footage of the April 11th 1944 mission over Bernburg, Germany. Tony Woods did some substantial work in this area though I no longer have Tony's email.... The most recent data suggested that the UK National Archives in Kew, England contained gun camera footage. Email correspondence from UK NA indicates otherwise; there are other museums to contact in the UK to verify whether they have such footage or not.
The MACR and other documents show the 11 Aprilth mission was indeed attacked by Luftwaffe elements; the mission was also attacked by AAA. The loss of 7522 may have been a result of AAA (deemed likely), aerial attack or some other cause....
