      Daylight  %of October 4th. During the morning, enemy bomber reconnaissance 
      flights by single machines were made over Southern Counties. 
      Soon after mid-day enemy activity increased and his aircraft 
      tended to penetrate further inland, and in the afternoon succession 
      of single enemy aircraft crossed the coast in direction of London, 
      adopting tactics similar to those employed at night. Owing 'to 
      low clouds, conditions were very unfavorable for interception 
      by our fighters. Almost all enemy attention was directed to London 
      area and East and South-East Counties. Later minor bombing took 
      place in several areas, but no serious damage is reported and 
      casualties were few.
 
      
 
 
During the night of October 4th/5th, enemy activity started 
      at seven p.m. on the most intense scale yet observed after dark. 
      This was not maintained and information so far received indicates 
      that number of bombs dropped was less usual, both in London and 
      1~'e provinces. In London area bombing was mostly confined to 
      the outer suburbs, and no serious damage is reported.
