BAD WEATHER
SETTING LIMITS TO BRITISH BOMBING. FIGHTER ACTIVITY ALSO , REDUCED. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, June 13. Since last Monday the weather over the Continent has been unfavourable and operations of the Bomber Command have been confined to mine-lay-ing, this activity supporting the Royal Navy and the Coastal Command. British fighter activity by day has been on a reduced scale for the same reason. Yesterday R.A.F. reconnaissance aircraft dropped bombs by daylight at several points in north-west Germany. Spitfires of the Fighter Command this afternoon attacked gasholders and industrial targets and enemy communications at several points in northern France. Near Etaples, they saw their cannon-fire hit a locomotive, which exploded in a cloud of smoke. A goods engine and trucks standing on a side line were also attacked. Other Spitfires damaged two more locomotives and shot up a factory and goods wagons in a siding.
