Whitby, Yorkshire.—At 11.20 on the night of the llth of December, 1952, the coastguard reported that two jet aircraft had collided and crashed into the sea at a position four miles north- west, thence twenty miles north-east by north. The life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched at 11.30 and made for the position, where she found several vessels searching the area. Keeping in touch with Culler- coats Radio the life-boat searched for hours until she was compelled to return for re-fuelling. She reached her station again at 2.15 in the after- noon, having been at sea for nearly fifteen hours. The Runswick life-boat also put out, but later the search was abandoned.—Rewards, £39 13*. 6d..
