Humber, Yorkshire. At 6.11 on the evening of the 16th of January, 1958, the Spurn Point coastguard told the cox- swain superintendent that a local resident had heard an aircraft crash into the sea about four hundred yards from the old life-boat house at Easing- ton. At 6.28 the life-boat City of Bradford HI was launched in a heavy swell. There was a light north-westerly wind and the tide was ebbing. Visi- bility was half a mile. The life-boat went to the position and carried out a search, in which she was joined by R.A.F. air-sea rescue craft. At 8.15 the life-boat found some wreckage of an aircraft. She towed this to her station, arriving there at 2.40. She also picked up an oxygen cylinder and a flying helmet. Paid permanent crew. Addi- tional rewards to the crew, £10..
