With
thanks to Lieutenant Brian Grindley
RN, Rtd
- I was a Leading Telegraphist
(Aircrew), who helped search for the
crew of our 820 Squadron Gannet
aircraft (WN427) which had flown into
the sea off Northern Ireland whilst
the pilot attempted to relight the
second engine (at the time they were
prone to do this, fortunately not all
with loss of life). All three crew
survived the descent but the pilot, a
strong, well built young man, was the
only one to escape from the aircraft
with a dinghy. Apparently, they took
it in turns to sit in the dinghy but
the Senior Observer and 'Dizzy' became
exhausted and succumbed to the
coldness of the sea, despite wearing
immersion suits. Whether they had
released their dinghies in order to
exit the aircraft was not known.
