JULY 29TH. - CROMER, NORFOLK. At 8.32 in the morning the Cromer coastguard reported that an aeroplane had crashed in flames four miles south-east-by-east of Cromer. A light southerly wind was blowing, with a smooth sea. The No. 1 motor lifeboat H. F. Bailey was launched at 8.40. She reached the scene of the accident to find her own coxswain there. He was out in his fishing boat and had gone to the rescue.

Other vessels were also there, and picked up two bodies. The life-boat searched, but only found some gear. She reached her station again at 2.30 that afternoon. - Rewards, £6 6s..
