JULY 29TH. - HASTINGS, SUSSEX. At 11.23 in the morning the Fairlight coastguard reported that a Mustang aeroplane had come down in the sea two and a half miles from Hastings. A light south-west wind was blowing, with a slight sea. The motor lifeboat Cyril and Lilian Bishop was launched at 11.33. She picked up two oxygen cylinders and saw a large patch of oil, but found no survivors. Two local fishing boats which were at sea had also gone to the rescue. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 12.18 that afternoon. - Rewards, £19 12s. 9d. (See Hastings, “Services by Shore-boats,” page 61.).
