Royal Air Force fighters intercepted four enemy bombers of! the Scottish coast and damaged two, one of which is unlikely to reach its base. A German plane, swooping down, machine-gunned a collier off the northeast coast of Scotland. The collier replied with machine-gun fire, after which the plane departed.
Two enemy planes later bombed three trawlers. British fighters chased them off.
