    Hi all,
    I am trying to understand entries in my father's logbook from 1943 when he was stationed with no 8 Air Gunnery School at RAF Evanton. Despite Googling any reference to Q.X.O and DCO/ DNCO are evading my researches!
    I have attached one of the logbook pages which might provide some context.
    Is anyone familiar with these terms and if so could you enlighten me?
    Thanks in anticipation

    Any number of reasons - bad weather - airframe failure - equipment failure - not making contact with tug - missing range targets

    Just a quick way of noting that the task needed to be performed again.
