Bones

Human bones were found on Hayling Sandbank around 10 September 1956.

An open verdict was returned against them at an inquest on 11 September 1956, with the Coroner noting that he would not ordinarily carry out an inquest on a set of bones, noting that they were natural in some cases, but that he was doing so to dispel the rumours that they were those of Lionel Crabb, an ex-Navy frogman who had recently gone missing and whose death was both a mystery and also unsolved.
