WOMAN CAUGHT
RAIDERS AVOID BATTLE
Large numbers of Ger--- man planes crossed the. South-east Coast of Eng- land but fled without dropping any bombs,
There were nearly 200 German aircraft altogether, and they came over in waves varying from 12 .0. 30,
Flying at a great height hey penetrated inland, but each roup, directly it was engaged: by British fighters, turned back with- u dropping any bombs in the
area.
One formation of about a dozen eroplanes' travelled towards London, but their behaviour was ust the same as the others when fighters went up.
Anti-aircraft
guns opened fire on one Messerschmidt 109 which shot down four barrage: balloons in a South-East area.... When the plane first appeared roin a westerly .direction it. ruised so casually over the town. hat it went unchallenged. Sud- danly it swooped on io a baltoon, shot it down in flames, and... vanished into the haze over the sea. A minute later the raider swept in over the coast again, and shot down two balloons which were
close together. . Flying recklessly through AL furious anti-aircraft barrage the raidor.. dived. low and attacked another balloon, which fell in flames. Then, ringed by bursting anti-aircraft. shells, the raider escaped across the Channel, **
At least one person was injured when two German 'planes dived, and machine-gunned: a part of the South-Western area. A high- explosive bomb caused a gorse fire. Little damage was done.
