An Aeroplane (57)

JULY 3 0TH. - SHERINGHAM, NORFOLK.

At 1.47 A.M. a local resident telephoned that an aeroplane had come down in flames off Cley, and the motor life-boat Foresters Centenary was launched at 3.42 A.M.

The sea was smooth and a light W.S.W. wind was blowing. The life-boat found that it was a German aeroplane and the airman had been picked up by a small boat. On her way back the life-boat picked up the body of a British airman, which had been in the sea for some time. - Rewards, £26 0s. 6d..
