BEFORE AFTER Print Nos.
NIGHT PHOTO EVIDENCE
The fire was seen to start during the attack
at 2200 hrs. and continues to 2205 hrs. It has
and is last seen on a print at 2220 hrs.
NOTE: This evidence is contradictory to the
damage seen on day photographs and it is
possible that the fire cannot be pinpointed
correctly.
U. THE FORGE
32. The roof and interior have been severely
damaged at the S.W. corner. Although the
remainder of the roof of the Southern portion
appears more or less intact, it is probable that
the interior damage is intensive.
33. This is apparently the site of a severe
fire which has caused considerable internal
damage.

corner seen from an oblique view. Item 1
The damage at the North end of the 2/35
building can be seen more clearly. The Item 2
Nothernmost shed appears severely damaged.
On the road North of the shops there is 2/35
debris and men can be seen handling fire-hose or
rope.
V. IRON AND STEEL FOUNDRY
34. Very extensive damage has been done to
this part of the works. Damage to the roof of the
E. section seen at 5 main points probably the
result of H.E. The section contains the seat of what
must have been an enormous fire. The roofs of most
of the sheds have collapsed. Local debris damage
suggests additional H.E.

foundry. Item 4
This shows a clearer view of the section of Item 5
what was probably one of the most severe fires
during the attack.
NIGHT PHOTO EVIDENCE
Fire tracks on night photos suggest that the
fire began in the S. W. corner as a group of
scattered incidents which appear to spread
Northwards. They were first seen on a print at 2200 hrs.
and at 2220 hrs. they were seen as a double track.
X. PRESS SHOPS
35. It can be seen that the Press Shops are almost
destroyed. Considerable damage
