It is officially stated that bombs were also dropped on transport wagons on the Ostend-Ghistelles road, on the locks at Zeebrugge, on the barges outside Blankenbergh, UN

Eight French aeroplanes assisted the British naval machines by vigorously attacking the Ghistelles aerodrome, thus effectively preventing German aircraft intercepting our machines.
The Admiralty adds that instructions are always issued to confine attacks to points of military importance and every effort is made by flying officers to avoid dropping bombs on residential quarters.
