The National Archives (TNA)

The fire appears to have been in the two aircon units between the main buildings and the railway line, on the west of the site.

I thought that. A bit more impressive than a "bin fire." Their webpage says that it will reopen on Tuesday as normal, which I'm glad about 'cos I'll be visiting it then.

Is any body going to Kew in the near future and able to photograph the following document for me, please?

NAVAL STATIONS (50): Decoy arrangements and orders: Falmouth, Sheerness and Portsmouth experimental works

I only want the parts that relate to FALMOUTH. Apparently this document hasn't been digitised so I can't order it direct.

Apparently this document hasn't been digitised so I can't order it direct. I can't imagine it being too big a document. If it is, it's the location of balloon sites I'm after rather than any procedures etc. so feel free to only photograph relevant parts. It's times like this one feels the distance to London. Any assistance gratefully received.
Yours hopefully...

. It doesn't matter if it is digitised yet. If you ask them for a quote for the two files for paper copies they will acknowledge and reply within a couple of weeks. You can judge the size by the quote and just purchase it by card and they will post it to you. Last time I used it it was 10 or 15p a page. It is very efficient. I understand the digitised files are available free and on-line.
