MAY 24TH. - FRASERBURGH, ABERDEENSHIRE.

At 4.40 P.M. the senior naval officer reported that two aeroplanes had crashed in flames, and the motor lifeboat John and Charles Kennedy was launched at 4.45 P.M. A light westerly wind was blowing and the sea was calm. Directed by the coastguard, the life-boat went N.N.W. of Kinnaird Head, and at 5.30 P.M. found the trawlers Dreadnought and Curlew each with a dead airman on board. The bodies were transferred to the life-boat, which had also picked up a rubber dinghy. The trawler Dreadnought picked up another. A Walrus seaplane landed on the water and joined in the search, but found nothing. The life-boat returned to Fraserburgh with the bodies, arriving at 6.30 P.M. - Rewards, £5 1s.
