CRASHED AIR CREW:
11 DAYS ADRIFT
Two airmen gave their lives in an unsuccessful effort to save four other R.A.F. men drifting in a dinghy after a forced landing in the Mediter- ranean,
Three hours later the men in the boat were picked up after being at sea for eleven days.
The survivors, a pilot-officer and three sergeants, are re- cuperating in hospital
In their boat they had only one and a half pints of water, nine biscuits, 15 pieces of chewing gum. and some chocolate.
They rationed the water in two teaspoonfuls twice daily. On the ninth day they were seen by an R.A.F. flyingboat, but a destroyer sent out to rescue them was unsuccessful.
On the eleventh morning they saw on the horizon four British destroyers.
Two of the airmen on board the dinghy plunged overboard and set out on a four-mile swim. They were never seen again. Eventually the ships vanished out of sight.
It was largely due to the efforts of two Dornier aeroplanes at one time part of the Yugoslav Fleet Arm, and now
attached to an R.A.F, squadron - that they were brought to safety, for three hours later the aeroplanes sighted the $18 dinghy.
A destroyer was summoned and picked up the exhausted men.

STOCK EXCHANGE CHEERFUL
"LATE ARRIVALS" CLUB
A club, exclusive as it is unique, has just been formed in the West- ern Desert. It is called "The Late Arrivals Club" and the members are a small body of fliers who have been shot down in action and have, through initiative and courage, managed to elude the enemy and gain the safety of their own lines.
The members include a D.S.O.. and many D.F.C.'s. There are one or two Free Frenchmen eligible, and at least three South Africans. Some members are doubly eligi→ ble having thwarted the enemy on more than one occasion. The "Late Arrivals" sport a badge de- signed in blue and white enamel, and consisting of a winged flying boot signifying that most mem- bers
walked of the club have back from behind the enemy lines.
