JULY 8TH. - WALMER, KENT. At 7.46 in the morning the Deal coastguard reported that a four-engined bombing aeroplane, belonging to the R.A.F., had crashed in the sea about two and three-quarter miles east of the life-boat station. A light southsouth- west wind was blowing, but the sea was smooth. The motor life-boat Charles Dibdin (Civil Service No. 2) was launched at 7.52 and found the remains of the aeroplane on fire, but no survivors. She picked up some gear and made a further search, examining old wrecks on the Goodwins, but found nothing and arrived back on her station at 10.10. - Rewards, £10 12s. 6d..
