Looking at NE war diary, the likely date was also quite a lively night round here,
Saturday, 10th/Sunday, 11th August 1940 N343

02.00.. Northumberland.. One HE on Warkworth School. Two HEs 140 yards east of Warkworth Bridge.

Northumberland.. Fifteen HEs in fields between Togston Hall and Gilden Bridge.

Northumberland.. Two HEs at Helsey Point, north of Alnwick.
I wonder if that was the same same time as the bombs that landed in the estuary / Helsay? Mentioned on here previously at some time but I can't find it.
