An Admiralty communique states: “Last night an offensive patrol of our light coastal forces, under the command of Lieutenant M. L. Lloyd, surprised four German flak ships off Flushing. One of them was hit by a torpedo from Lieutenant Lloyd’s motor torpedo-boat and almost certainly was sunk. The other three flak ships were heavily engaged with gunfire and it is considered that damage and casualties were inflicted upon the enemy. All our boats returned to harbour. We suffered no casualties.”
