Tenby, Pembrokeshire. At 5.48 on the 7th of November, 1957, the coast- guard reported that a Hunter aircraft had crashed into the sea and that the pilot had baled out ten miles north of Lundy. The life-boat Henry Comber Brown was launched at 5.55 in a choppy sea. There was a fresh north- easterly breeze, and it was high water.

A very extensive search was carried out in which the Appledore, Angle, Clovelly, Ilfracombe and Padstow life- boats and other search and rescue craft took part without success. The Tenby life-boat arrived back at her station at 5.35 on the evening of the 8th of November. A request was received at one o'clock on the afternoon of the 9th of November for a further search to be carried out and the Tenby life-boat, which had not been rehoused, put out at 1.45. The search was unsuccessful and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 5.45.
