Buckie, Banffshire.—At 11.33 on the morning of the 12th of March, 1953, the coastguard passed on a message from the Buckie police that an air- craft was down in the sea off Buckpool harbour, about one and a half mileswest of Buckie. The life-boat Glencoe, Glasgow was launched at 11.42 in a calm sea with a light south-westerly wind blowing, and went to the given position. There she found a parachute with the dead body of a pilot. She took the body on board, and made for Buckie, arriving at 1.15. The body was handed over to the police.—• Rewards, £8 19s..
