JUNE 20TH. - CROMER, NORFOLK. At 7.48 in the morning the coastguard telephoned that an aeroplane had crashed in the sea about four miles to the north-east. A strong north-east breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. The No. 1 motor life-boat H. F. Bailey was launched at 8.5, and half an hour later found wreckage and rubber dinghies, but no sign of any of the crew.

She took on board the dinghies, other articles and wreckage, and then she was recalled, as it had been learnt that all the crew had baled out safely over land. As the weather was too rough for the life-boat to be re-housed at Cromer she made for Great Yarmouth- Rewards, £22 2s..
