A.         1.                 THERMIC POWER STATION (65,00 K.W.)
                              Roof damage is seen to the Power Station
                         apparently caused by blast.  The building gives
                         the appearance that internal damage has been
                         caused, in which case the plant on the island
                         will have been put out of action (quite apart
                         from other damage caused.)
 
                              An obliques view of the damage. 1/18 
                                                      Item 1.
 
B.                       WOODWORKING SHOP
         2.                        The roofs at the western end show signs of
                         damage and it is possible to see down into the
                         buiding.  At the eastern end lighter roof
                         damage is apparent.
         3.                        Crater on waste land west of shops.  Blast
                         from this near miss may be responsible for some 
                         of the roof damage seen.
                              This damage can be seen more clearly on 
                         the oblique view.        1/18 Item 2.
 
C.                       BODY PRESS SHOP
          4.                       The roof of this shop appears intact
                         except one point towards the western end.
          5.                       This shows what appears to be the seat
                         of a fire.  The roof is scorched across the
                         entire width of the shed.
                              Shows another view of these shops of the 
                         damage referred to above.  It can also be
                         seen on this print that the roofs of the shed
                         covering the western half of the island bear 
                         distinct charring marks, indicating that there
                         is probably severe internal damage.
 
D.                       TANK ASSEMBLY SHOPS
           6.                      Heavy destruction has been caused at the 
                         western end of these shops.
                              Close up illustrating the same damage. 2/37 Item 2.
                              Severe damage should have been done to the 
                         overhead travelling assembly system.
                    
                         NIGHT PHOTOGRAPH EVIDENCE
                              This fire was seen in progress on night,
                         photographs at 2205 hrs.  From then onwards 
                         it appears to diminish and is seen as a very
                         light track later.  It does not appear to 
                         register on prints taken after 2230 hrs.  This
                         would appear to
