Cutter crew saved pilot of downed aircraft
On May 6, 2024, the 'Doggerbank' recovered a double decker which had emergency landed off Büsum following a motor damage. At 10.20 a.m. the pilot had reported technical trouble between Heligoland and Büsum before going down on the water. The crew of the cutter saved the pilot and pulled the downed aircraft out of the water with its fishing gear. It was transported to Büsum then. Also the lifeboat "Theodor Storm“ attended, but the rescue operation had already been completed successfully.
