Pilot Murphy - ditched North Sea 21 July 1919
The Dutch steamer Agneta, on her way from Holland to Finland, picked up a British pilot named Murphy who had ditched his mail plane "near Buoy 6" in the North Sea on 17 July 1919.
The British airplane was on a postal flight between England an Cologne and had engine problems. Airplane was lost. The pilot was put ashore at Brunsbüttel, Germany. Pilot is described in a Dutch newspaper as "pilot-officer", so perhaps RAF. Any info further info about the ditched airplane and/or full identity of Murphy is welcome, thanks.
