Torbay, Devon.—At 4.7 on the after- noon of the 19th of April, 1951, the Brixham coastguard telephoned that an Anson aeroplane had crashed into the sea and sunk about a mile off Orestone Rock. At 4.20 the life-boat George Shee left her moorings. The sea was slight with a light east-north-east breeze blowing. She found four men in a rubber dinghy, rescued them, gave them hot cocoa, and returned to her station by 5.5. The owners made gifts to the life-boatmen and a donation to the funds of the Institution.—Rewards, £4 175. 6d..
