      formations appeared; 30 aircraft approached Portsmouth area, 
      lO0 flew in as far as Southern Outer London area but soon turned 
      back and about another 130 penetrated inland, some to Essex and 
      others to Southern outskirts of London. Several interceptions 
      were made by our fighters. Minor bombing resulted chiefly in
