Four heroes came to the rescue. Taking a small boat they set off to Lerwick on their mercy mission. They travelled through the night and most of the next day, arriving back at Baltasound just before the start of the Dance with a valuable cargo. The four crew were:
Cpl Aves
Cpl Hawker
Cpl Palmer &
Cpl Pope
They were not mentioned in the New Years Honours List - no justice in the world!
