Assignment: lifeguard duty

Spent some time around Savo island plucking airmen out of the drink, when the radar lights up with 5 contacts at extreme range. After a fashion I was still some distance away from them with the shorelines coming up fast.

Seems the surface radar was picking up crashed planes on Guadalcanal....

Is that normal?
