No diary entry - the Air Staff Operational Summary records:
There was very little enemy activity, probably owing to bad weather. A few raids occurred in the CARDIFF, SWANSEA, PORTSMOUTH and SOUTHAMPTON areas, off the THAMES ESTUARY and NORFOLK Coast. One raid also visited DREM. A certain amount of activity was experienced over convoys on the south and east coasts.

No diary entry - the Air Staff Operational Summary records:
Fighter engagements with the enemy were on a smaller scale due to a reduction of enemy activity near our Coasts. What activity there was, however, was almost entirely directed towards attacks on shipping. Bombs damaged convoys off DOVER and a naval unit was bombed off SWANAGE. No damage reported. A convoy off the NORFOLK Coast was also reconnoitred, and one raid approached the coast of MONTROSE. Patrols were maintained over convoys at periods during the day; one enemy aircraft in reporting the position of a convoy mentioned our Fighter escort, and no attack resulted.
