Finally got that report from the National Archives. It runs to eight pages, nothing very enlightening in it, even though it is an interesting thing to look at, there are some good views of the captured aircraft in it, not a DIII of course, but still of interest. Here's some scans of some of the more useful bits of the report, which appears to be for the benefit of the Independent Force, indicating they'd be expecting to bump into the things behind the front lines on deep raids into Germany:
