Despite the damaged.engine the pilot made a magnificent landing. The air gunner said they kept up a running fight for about half an hour and when they turned back smoke was pouring from one of the planes on which they had concentrated.
The British machine was in a steep climb when a burst of fire caught the port engine.

An offiola! announcement says the R.A.F, shot down an enemy machine | off the north-east coast of Scotland yesterday. Reuter.
NO BOMB8 DROPPED BY NAZI PLANE, OVER SHETLANDS London, To-day. The R.A.F. at home have followed up the success of the R.A.F. in France, (which shot down at least five Nazi 'planes, as reported yesterday) by shooting down a German raider off the North-East Coast of Scotland yes-; terday,
This is the 48th German 'plane to be shot down over or near Britain since war began, while at least 10 others were so badly damaged it is unlikely they got back safely.
Another Nazi 'plano which `ap- proached the Shetlands from a great height at noon yesterday was chas- ed until it was lost in the clouds, Although it flew over the Shetlands, it dropped no bombs. Reuter.

Firstly, reports from Washington in- dicating that the State Department was watching the drop and was- preparing to give full effect to the safeguarding provisions of the re- ciprocal trade agreement with Britain whenever there is evidence that the depreciation of Sterling would pre- judice industry and commerce in the United States, and
Secondly, to rumours that Britain might lift the restrictions respecting the use of free Sterling for rubber purchases for which free Sterling may not now be used..
Sterling bloc currencies also moved up yesterday. In sympathy-Reuter.
