Many of the messages, said Commander Nimming, broadcasting in London last night on the raid, bore the mark of a humorist,

They had hoped to spring a complete surprise but just be- fore zero hour low clouds gave place to a clear sky and they were spotted by an enemy 'plane which raced away to give the alarm.
Crews and 'planes were ready and were quickly away but the enemy 'plane had done its job and fighters were soon attacking the Fleet Air Arm 'planes.
