Hi,
Some where, ( I have recently moved house ) I have photos of Corsairs being pushed off the back end of a R.N. carrier,
The squadron was apparently returning from Hong Kong.
I myself have never heard of U.K. waters dumping but it could have happened.
There is a story of FAA a/c buried on a nearby airfield.
Cheers
Jerry
