So far we have
Bravo: ASH
Charlie: OGEN
Echo: FI if
Hotel: MHI
'India:ASLEEP'
Juliet: TOY FIN
Lima: GOOD WINKS
Initial thoughts they might be anagrams (well apart from asleep... and my one could be
Kings wood or maybe Dingo woks? OK maybe not.

Why can't Asleep be an anagram?
Please/Elapse
Have I missed the point here?

Oh I don't know. I didn't think of that.

So yes, it could be anagrams. I don't know WHY though.

The introductory message does mention some scrambling in the transmission.
I think we need the missing messages to make full sense of it though.

Well I could be completely wrong here.
Now it's your turn to make up a sentence with Dingo woks in it.

I reckon you're probably on to something. So is it Cenwulf who's gone missing?

Well since I've got the first bit, and FUN CLEW can't really be an anagram of anything else, I think that guess is probably accurate. Although I admit it's definitely a fun clew.
(It's not that I wasn't intending to share it, it's that I could see what it was and wondered if it would be necessary to have that information in order to understand the message. Clearly it wasn't...

)
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

Oh you sneaky devil, you. We were just speculating who'd get alpha. You really must be important...
So...are we to set up a search party then?

all the people who got messages - minus the letters in Anagram?
Except that an E has been removed from strep instead of the R
