Arrangement

Physically each piece comprises 4 quarterly sets of reports, each of which is divided into Appendices A and B (and sometimes C). For the purpose of cataloguing, all those accident reports in A appendices have been grouped together and appear first in the listing. These are followed by reports from all four B and C appendices. The quarter, appendix and page number for each accident is clearly given in the item description. The narrative descriptions for the major accidents in Appendix A provide full details including the circumstances of the accident, whereas that detail is omitted for the more minor accidents in Appendices B and C, the descriptions for which are in the form of a more structured data format.
