Enemy action at Catfoss airfield.

On the night of 3rd / 4th March 1945 an enemy intruder aircraft made an attack on Catfoss airfield. Three Central Gunnery School aircraft sustained minor damage and No.1 Hanger damaged. Of the damaged aircraft a Beaufighter and a Mosquito had the wheels and tyres damaged while a Wellington received damage to an exhaust pipe. The C.G.S. orb does not mention whether any one sustained injuries. Nearby Lissett airfield was also attacked, probably by the same enemy aircraft.
