Twenty Blenheims were despatched yesterday to attack aerodromes 
      and other military objectives in Germany; all returned. Weather 
      conditions were unfavourable and 14 could not complete their 
      tasks, but hangars were hit at 3 aerodromes.
 
      
 
 
Last night some operations were cancelled owing to bad weather, 
      but 44 Hampdens left to attack an oil target at Magdeburg and 
      lifting plants on Mitteland Canal. All except one returned. Six 
      medium bombers were sent against aerodromes, and one other to 
      shipping at Boulogne. Five Swordfish went on mine-laying operations, 
      one of them did not return.

A large number of attacks by single enemy aircraft took place 
      yesterday during daylight over a wide area, and extended to Scilly 
      Islands, where an R. A. F. wireless station was damaged. There 
      was no important damage to military objectives, but indiscriminate 
      bombing and machine gunning of open towns caused 19 fatal casualties. 
      Various aerodromes were attacked with little result, but at one 
      of them 22 casualties occurred, and at Royal Naval Training Establishment 
      at Skegness considerable damage to buildings and services put 
      one-third of the camp temporarily out of action.
 
      
 
 
The fire at Pembroke dock, started on Monday, assumed a more 
      serious character
