Very true. Also serials or codes were more likely to be noted in the 'tasks carried out', the other form that comprised the ORB. The summary of events was just that, and sometimes obviously completed retrospectively.
The most pertinent fact in the extract above is that the squadron CO flew to Northolt to a conference with his seniors at Fighter Command on the evening of the day of the disastrous action. It is clear that it was suspected that there was a serious issue with the Defiant, something had to be done quickly, and it was.
