COASTGUARD, HELICOPTER AND LIFE-BOAT SEARCH Flamborough, Yorkshire. At three o'clock on the afternoon of the 2nd June, 1963, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a boy had fallen over the cliffs. A helicopter had landed on the cliff top, ana the pilot brought a small laft down to the life-boathouse, which the life-boat coxswain took with him. There was a fresh easterly breeze with a moderate sea. The life-boat Friendly Forester put out at 4.5 on an ebbing tide. The youth could be seen at the foot of the cliff, but the coxswain sent a radio message ashore that he was unable to land anyone because of the heavy swell. While the coastguard lowered a man down the cliff face the coxswain dropped anchor and veered as close as possible to the shore. The helicopter had tried without success to land at the foot of the cliff. When the coastguard reached the bottom of the cliff he signalled to the coxswain that the youth was dead. A line was fired from the life-boat to the coastguard, who pulled the raft ashore. The body was put in the raft and pulled back to the life-boat. The life-boat then returned to her station, arriving at 6.30..
