Three Royal Air Force Aeroplanes

Aldeburgh, Suffolk, and Walton and Frinton, Essex.—8th August, 1939. A message had been received from the Colchester Air Observers' Post, through the coastguard, that three Royal Air Force aeroplanes had crashed into the sea, seven or eight miles S.E. of Aldeburgh. Both life-boats searched a wide area, but found nothing, and returned to their stations after information had been received that the search would be continued by Government vessels.—Rewards: Aldeburgh No. 1, £29 15*. 6d.; Walton and Frinton, £14 5*..
