RAIDERS PADDLED RUBBER BOAT
WITH THEIR HANDS
PADDLING their collapsible rubber boat with their hands, two German airmen, who had been 48 hours adrift after their bomber had been shot down in the North Sea, landed near Whitby, on the Yorkshire const, and were captured by a railway special constable,

Thomas took the airman to Sand- send Station and pollee officers went for the other man, using the collap sible boat as a stretcher to carry him to the clifftop.
