        Couldn't find RIN during 1937-45. It seems that the records are held in British Library: Asian and African Studies, not the National Archives.

          Yeah looking for Indian records pre-47 are just the pits. Some is online via Fibis (https://www.fibis.org/) but there are massive gaps. Then there's every chance you may end up needing to head to India (as it was, not is) and searching manually. Frustrating.

    I tried accessing UFO reports and incidents.. not much luck

    How is the massive DOOMSDAY BOOK to be accessed
    (ie, if it's the "semi-modern"
    VideoDisk version, that's on-offer)…?

    since the british government has been shredding records since the 70's to save money, and has allowed millions to decompose to avoid paying pensions amongst other things like proving nationality, this is black humour.

    oh and they routinely extend document exemption every 50 years from disclosure meaning the Korean war atrocities will never be disclosed until everyone involved including victims and witnesses are long dead. Bit like how pell and HIS peers ran his defense case…
