A 29-year-old New Zealandborn pilot escaped serious injury when his small amphibian plane crashed into the grounds of a hospital at Rydalmere, 15 miles west of Sydney, this afternoon. The pilot, Kenneth Ernest Olsen, a former top dressing pilot, owned the plane, a “Seabee,” in which he ran tourist and sight-seeing flights. The plane struck power lines and narrowly missed a row of houses before plunging into the hospital grounds. It was completely wrecked.
