Bombing over the Irish sea apparently was not that uncommon. Now have two sources about events in two areas that although they were some what distant were easily within flying distance of Rhosneigr.

Senior Air Raid Warden Gilbert Shepherd said that the last air raid on Cardiff, on May 18th 1943, was planned by a Nazi who knew the city.”

en route to the Atlantic convoy lanes, undisturbed by British fighters ore anti-aircraft fire. In February (1941 I think the author is not clear on which year L.D.), seventy-nine British freighters were sunk, the highest losses in the war so far.”
