 The machines first made their ap- pearance over Herne bay, to the east of Canterbury and about fifty miles from London. Within @ few minutes they were reported over Canterbury closer to the capital; shortly after > wards they appeared over Faversham and then over Sittingbourne, not more than thirty miles away from London dropping bombs on each town.
