ARMY CADETS TAKEN OFF DINGHY Troon, Ayrshire. On the afternoon of the 29th May, 1963, the coxswain noticed that a sailing dinghy seemed to be in difficulties in the bay, but as a yacht was near by he took no further immediate action. At 4.30 he saw the dinghy capsize, and five minutes later the life-boat James and Barbara Ait ken was launched in a light south-easterly breeze and a slight sea. It was a flood tide. At 4.45 the life-boat found three Army cadets sitting on the upturned dinghy half a mile to the north-east of Troon harbour. The boys were taken on board the life-boat, and the dinghy was righted, baled out and taken in tow to Barrasie. The life-boat then returned to her station, where she arrived at six o'clock..
