MAY 5TH . - WELLS, NORFOLK. A motor rescue dinghy had been dropped from an aeroplane to airmen whose aeroplane had come down in the sea and who had got away in their rubber dinghy. The motor dinghy took the other dinghy in tow. This is believed to be the first occasion on which one of these motor dinghies was dropped from an aeroplane for actual rescue work.

The motor dinghy broke down when still twelve miles from Wells, for which place it was making, but before the life-boat reached the dinghies they had, by chance, been seen by a motor launch which brought them in.- Rewards, £14 16s. 3d..
