American pilot and the other an RAF man who was trying to save him 1 One of the jets crashed into the sea and the pilot died after apparently becoming entangled in his harness A helicopter rescue winchman from RAF Coltishall drowned trying to rescue him The second plane crashed in flames only a few hundred yards from the village of Itteringham Wreckage was scattered over a wide area and one villager was hit by a piece of debris and taken to hospital The pilot ejected The aircraft twin-engined A-10 busters' were on their way from their base at Ben-twaters Suffolk to a firing range at Wainfleet Lincolnshire on a routine training mission Police said the crash happened above Itteringham and the nearby village of Saxthorpe An RAF spokesman said that the bodies of the two airmen had been recovered from the sea He said it was believed that the pilot had been in the sea caught among the lines of his open parachute When the winchman was lowered he became entangled in the parachute shrouds and the winchline was cut and both were swept away in a strong current The winchman was from one of the two Sea King helicopters trying to piece together the full story but it would appear that one of the American crew members was in the water lowered a helicopter crewman down to rescue him While they were being winched back up there was some entanglement with the American's parachute lines cable was cut They both fell down and were taken by a strong an sea was too rough for them to be picked up immediately and our helicopter now had no winch line An American helicopter came in to pick them up" Many rescues A He said the line would have been cut by the man operating the winch appears that an instant decision had to be taken otherwise legs and limbs may have been wrenched off in the entanglement No details about the dead rescue airman were being released until relatives had been told But Sqd-Ldr Woskett said: was a very experienced man and had been involved in many rescues"

North Humberside was one of the worst affected areas due to the closure and short-time work ing of many local firms which meant people were being more careful with their money High interest rates meant dealers could not afford to carry many unsold vehicles and any discount offered while increasing turnover reduced profit margins Mr Douglas Hefferon sales manager and company director of Ferry Car Sales of Clarence Street Hull a main dealer for Toyota said dealers Japanese cars were also facing problems While sharing reduced profit margins with dealers of British cars traders in Japanese-made vehicles were also facing duced stocks as the 11 per cent of Japanese imports was used Toyota had told his firm that no further vehicles would available until February 1981 although

mind the Government's directive" Even so he said he wqp still optimistic and hoped there would be not be any call for using the Ministry of believe the Fire Brigade Union are realists and believe that an agreement will be reached and com-monsense will prevail" he said But the warning from the county's FBU was that they would be supporting increased industrial action unless the Association of County Councils meeting comes up with a new offer On Friday the FBU delegates meet to decide what action they will take Humberside's FBU secretary Mr Alan Drakes said: for Humberside I think it will be overwhelmingly carried to start lightning He thinks that the recommendation from meeting will be for one-day strikes "But it depends on what comes out of meeting" THE DAMAGE Mr Drakes has appealed to Humberside County Council members attending the ACC meeting to reconsider their decision to support the six per cent limit "I would particularly like them to consider the damage which could be caused to industrial relations if this pay agreement is not But Coun Berrett oaid the Government had placed a six per cent average rise on county council employees and if someome received more another union would have to accept less the ACC decide to allow 188 per cent then there will be a review of the fire service budget" he warned EIGHT BASES And while the two sides try to reach a settlement the Home

today at the Crown Court in Hull the insist on the 45 per cent A foretaste of 1 ow far away a solution to the share-out problem is came last night when France complained that even a 35 per cent quota for Britian would mean a drop of one third in her own catch entitlements since 1978 Coupled with this the French ra desperate to protect their "historic" rights to fish close to the coasts of Britain and Ireland A curious factor in the whole situation which has received little attention is the position of French departments overseas such as St Pierre and Muquelon off Newfoundland As a department of France St 200-mile rniiits are regarded by the British industry as part of the waters open to EEC member States But earlier this year a leader of the UK industry claimed that if a British trawler fished within these waters it would be arrested On the other hand the fact that Canadian vessels fished the waters umolested and French trawlers operated in Candian waters led to the assumption that France had negotiated a bilateral agreement contrary to the spirit of EEC partnership On Thursday the European Parliament is to hear a report for the laying down of measures for the conservation and management of fishery resources in the 200-mile zone off the coast of another French Guyana on the north-east coast of South America The British could claim that all waters around non-independent
