Impregnable fog belt menaces Channel shipping . 200 feet thick bank in which steamer was wrecked . lying flat over the Channel and extending only 200 feet into the air , parallel with the sun bathed cliffs of Folkestone , this dense fog bank spread across the Channel and was responsible for the collision in which the Yugoslav steamer Mrav , on her way to Rotterdam to Susak was wreked and sunk . This unusual picture was made from an aeroplane searching forthe steamer Mari , which was badly damaged in the collision , and the wreckage of the steamer Mrav . Although the cliffs at Folkestone were bathed in brilliant sunshine the whole of the Channel was covered by this thick fog belt . 29 April 1936
