    Week to Week, Windsor and Richmond Gazette, March 3rd, 1918.

    ____________________


    Big scare in country towns over the reported appearance of several enemy aeroplanes over Sydney Harbour early on Sunday night. Windsor Police Station was rung up at 2 a.m. on Monday by the Inspector General of Police, informed that the planes had been sighted, and instructed to apprise outlying stations of the district. Certain instructions were given. Lieut Stutt, of the aviation school, was called to Sydney, and flew over Windsor about 8 a.m. on Monday en route for the Metropolis. The strangest part of the affair is that Sydney people generally were in blissful ignorance of the whole thing. When we rang up our telegraphic agency on Monday and asked for information, we were advised to "put more water with it".
