The public are advised to familiarise themselves with the appearances of British and German Airships and Aeroplanes, so that they may not

be alarmed by British aircraft, and may take shelter if German aircraft appear. Should hostile aircraft be seen, take shelter immediately

in the nearest available house, preferably in the basement, and remain there until the aircraft have left the vicinity: do not stand about

in crowds and do not touch unexploded bombs.

In the event of HOSTILE aircraft being seen in country districts, the nearest Naval, Military or Police Authorities should, if possible, be

advised immediately by Telephone of the TIME OF APPEARANCE, the DIRECTION OF FLIGHT, and whether the aircraft is an Airship or an Aeroplane.
