      During the afternoon of October 3rd, naval aircraft, operating 
      off South-West Norwegian coast, scored at least two hits on a 
      merchant ship of about 4,500 tons in harbour. The ship was seen 
      to be heavily on fire fore and aft. Another ship of about 2,000 
      tons in a fjord was hit and probably sunk. Our aircraft were 
      attacked by 5 enemy fighters and one was lost.

      During the daylight of October 4th, 30 medium bombers were dispatched 
      to attack railway, industrial and oil targets in North-West Germany. 
      Conditions were unfavorable, and icing trouble was experienced. 
      Nevertheless shipping and barges were attacked in the morning 
      and although results could not be observed, photographs were 
      taken. Amongst targets attacked were a large merchant vessel, 
      railway junction and oil refinery. Blenheims from Coastal Command 
      also successfully attacked one aerodrome and an airship hangar 
      near Cherbourg. All aircraft except one returned safely.
 
      During the night of October 4th/5th, operations were canceled 
      owing to unfavorable weather.
