Further poor weather resulted in a quiet day and there was limited activity at night, although bombs fell on London and a number of other areas.

At Newport, Monmouthshire, the balloon barrage brought down a raider. A delayed action bomb fell very close to St Paul’s Cathedral in London. It took three days to remove, after which it was taken to Hackney marshes and exploded. For their actions in dealing with this bomb, two Royal Engineers, Lieutenant Robert Davies and Sapper George Wyllie later each received the George Cross. Two other members of the bomb disposal team were awarded the British Empire Medal.
