London, Oct, 28.
Air Ministry announces that Royal Air Force aircraft last night carried out reconnaissance flights over certain areas in southern Germany. All the aeroplanes returned safely to the base.
A German raider, which appeared over the Orkneys today, was the first seen near the islands for ten days.
An alarm was sounded as soon as the aeroplane was sighted.
Warning signals were immediately sent to all parts of the islands, Almost at the same time, a fighter aircraft flashed into view, whereupon the raider turned to the sea, with British defence machines in hot pursuit, The German plane was apparently not a bomber. It appeared to be engaged in a reconnaissance flight.—Reuter.
