Clarke was a member of the Deputy Directorate of Organisation (Planning), which was part of the Department of the Air Member for Supply and Organisation (i.e. part of the Air Ministry?). So was HE O.P.2, or did he WORK IN O.P.2? The other references appear to be people (or teams) outside of the Air Ministry. As it is a Bomber Command file, I suspect that the were in Bomber Command HQ, but I'm really just guessing.........
He would have been OP2 with OP1 a Group Capt and OP3 being a Sqn Ldr.
So he would have been OP2 and work within the Directorate.
