Visiirility on the surface was so low that the enemy aircraft was not seen to crash into tlie water, but almost immediately after being set on fire the aircraft disappeared in the mist and a crash and explosion were heard from the direction in which the bomber had been flying. In the circumstances it is considered certain that the Evening Primrose accounted for the attacker. No damage or casualties were sustained by the Evening Primrose.
