Dungeness, and Dover, Kent ; Hast- ings and Eastbourne, Sussex. At 5.25 on the afternoon of the 7th of February, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary at Eastbourne that an Auster aircraft was missing on a flight from Lympne airfield and had been seen between Dungeness and Beachy Head. A similar message was passed to the honorary secretaries at Dungeness, Dover and Hastings. The four life-boats were launched to carry out a search of the area, and at 7.10 the Eastbourne life-boat picked up a body five miles south-east of Beachy Head. Artificial respiration was applied immediately, but the man did not recover and his body was landed at Eastbourne at 8.8. As there had been two people on board the aircraft the life-boat returned to the area to con- tinue the search in conjunction with an aircraft, but nothing further was found and the search was abandoned. East- bourne life-boat reached her station at 12.55, Hastings at 10.2, Dover at 10.40 and Dungeness at 9.50.
