Later another was shot down in the sea off the south-east coast by antiaircraft guns.
“Enemy activities over Britain this morning consisted of a few attacks by single aircraft. iSome bombs were dropped at points in the Thames Estuary, at two towns and villages on the south coast and a village in the Home Counties. Little damage was done in any of these attacks, and there was a very small number of casualties.”
