Re: Havoc I BB900 lost 27 Feb !942
Hi Andy,
Cannot help with the names but can add the RNLI record of service to the loss: FEBRUARY 27TH. - MARGATE, KENT. At 3.40 P.M. an aeroplane crashed in the sea about two miles N.E. of the life-boat station, and life-boatmen standing by at the boat-house saw part of it above water. Seven minutes later the motor life-boat The Lord Southborough (Civil Service No. 1) was launched. A light E. wind was blowing and the sea was smooth. The life-boat found three airmen clinging to two rubber dinghies, rescued them and gave them brandy. She then searched for a missing sergeant gunner, but could not find him, and returned to her station at 4.35 P.M. Two air-sea rescue boats also searched, but the missing man was not found. - Rewards, £7 12s. (Source: RNLI Records of Service 1939-46) Regards Ross
