Frogman gets to work - A demonstration was held in the King George V Dock, Southampton, recently of the latest inflatable non-capsizable rubber dinghies for life-saving. The dinghies are absolutely unsinkable even if filled with water. Spectators aboard the liner "Durban Castle' watched the demonstration by ex-Fleet Air Arm Frogman William Harvey. Keystone Photo Shows: Frogman William Harvey swims towards the unique unsinkable dinghy which, floating on the water of the dock, looks rather like a flying saucer.
