An Aeroplane (115)

SEPTEMBER 1ST. - SHERINGHAM, NORFOLK.

At 5.45 A.M. the naval author-ities at Cromer asked for the life-boat to go out, as an aeroplane was in the sea between Sheringham and Blakeney. A light westerly wind was blowing, the sea was smooth. The motor life-boat Foresters Centenary was launched at 6 A.M., and found, off Salthouse, a patch of oil and part of an aeroplane. The crew of four had got ashore in their rubber boat. The life-boat picked up some wreckage and gear and returned to her station again at 7.30 A.M. - Rewards, £16 6s. 6d.
