RAID ON LONDON
EIGHTH SUCCESSIVE NIGHT (Rec. 9 p.m.) RUGBY, Oct. 23. For the eighth night running, London had an alert on Friday night, a small number of German raiders dropping bombs on the city. A small number of enemy aircraft crossed the Kent and Sussex coasts in the early hours of the evening and flew as far as the home counties at separate points. There was slight damage and a small number of casualties.
Heavy gunfire met a raider passing over London on Thursday night. The heaviest barrage of the week drove off a raider from another district. Enemy planes earlier crossed the coast in the south and the south-east areas. The raid, like the preceding attacks, was on a small scale. Only a few planes flew inland. Bombs were dropped in one London district and in another on the outskirts.
