Our airmen have been very active throughout the week, and

there has been much fighting in the air. On Tuesday seventeen hostile machines were " brought down "—that is to say, destroyed —and another was shot down, while only one of our machines failed to return. This is the most successful day's work of the kind yet recorded. The Naval Air Service has steadily continued its raids on the enemy aerodromes in Flanders. It is reported that Ghistelles has been abandoned on account of these incessant rattle, and it may be hoped that the other flying-grounds will in turn be made unsafe and useless to the enemy.
