OUTSTANDING EVENTS.
TRAINING.
This has been exceedingly restricted owing to adverse weather, whenever it has been possible, operations have usually been detailed and therefore our programmes have had to be cancelled, or considerably modified.  Prominence has, however, whenever possible, been given to Fighter Affiliation, Practice Bombing, and Ground Training.
OPERATIONS.
These have also been limited owing to weather conditions.  Four raids have been made against Special Targets and mines have been laid off THE FRISIAN ISLANDS, in the GIRONDE ESTUARY, north of BIARRITZ, in the HELIGOLAND AREA, off the East Coast of DENMARK, and in the KIEL BAY.  In carrying out these raids 135 sorties have been flown.
