Question on the attack on Driffield airfield on August 15th 1940

Hello
once more a question about the attack on Driffield airfield on August 15th 1940. Is there any indication that the British had prior knowledge on this attack? Or was it pure chance that on Aug. 14th they ordered a Defence Practice on 15th “for all Defence Personnel, Gas, Fire, Stretcher Bearers etc, etc” ? Info of the order from the After Order To Daily Routine Order Serial No 225 Date 14/8/40 from the RAF Station Driffield ORB.

TIA
Juha
