Residents of a country house ‘'somewhere in Kent" regretfully complained to the nearby R.A.F. depot recently. For several days they had been awakened by the regular 7 a.m. arrival of an R.A.F. machine which circled repeatedly over the house and dived with a hideous roar low over the gabled roof. Finally they telephoned to the C.G. of the depot. That afternoon two chastened and apologetic young pilots arrived to promise that the thing would never occur again. Over tea their host asked. "But was there any reason for choosing our house every morning?" "Oh." said one of them, “you see your house and lake are Berchtesgaden, and we like to bomb it every morning before breakfast."
