BRITISH TRAWLERS AND MER-
CHANT VESSELS DESTROY
GERMAN BOMBERS.
London, Jan. 28th.
On Jan. 25th an enemy aircraft was
engaged by three British trawlers and
was seen to be repeatedly hit and damag-
ed. At last the pilot jettisoned his bombs
into the sea and disappeared in the mist.
Two other trawlers and a drifter de-.
stroyed at least 2 enemy aircraft recently.
Two of the crew of one of them were res-
cued but the other was shot down in
flames.
Anti-aircraft guns of a British mer-
charít-man recently brought down an uni-
dentified German plane.
London, Jan. 28th.
Agency correspondents describe the air
base at Bomba, which is situated between
Tobruk and Derna. This aerodrome was a
continuous threat to British shipping un-
til the R.A.F. completely destroyed it in
one of t' eir fiercest attacks cn Italian
aerodromes. The landing ground is now
completely littered with remmants of
burnt up aeroplanes and ruins of hangars
and houses.
The R.A.F. continue to hammer at Ital-
ian bases everywhere in Africa. Last night
a railway station on the line between Ag-
adat and Massawa was heavily bombed.
Stcres and warehouses at Assab have
been bombed and set on fire and at Gora
Abyssinia Italian stores and munitions
v/ere bombed. No British aircraft is re-
ported missing from these cperations.
