"During the evening, repeated but abortive attacks on Scapa Flow and a convoy were successfully driven off. Four German bombers were shot down by our fighters, and three by antiaircraft fire, while two more were so damaged as to make their return extremely doubtful.
"In the course of these operations, we lost two flying-boats, one reconnaissance aircraft, and three bombers. No fighters were lost.
""During the same period 19 German aircraft are confirmed as having been destroyed."—Reuter.
