Edit:
An east coast town was the victim of one of a series of tip and run raids on Monday morning. A Dornier 217 came in from the northeast dropping four or five bombs, machine-gunned Skegness, turned and made out to sea again. The bombs fell in a residential area demolishing some houses and severely damaging others. Twelve persons were officially posted as injured and five fatal casualties resulted, one being Mrs. Gertrude Chadwick.
