Holidaymakers looked on while he struggled to free his face and hands - when an R.A.T. Helicopter lowered a winchman - who picked him off the sea and carried him to came round and said I will try again tomorrow Photo shows Lieut. Gooderham is revived on being taken to the beach by the R.A.J. Rescue Helicopter nr
