AEROPLANE WRECKAGE
OFF CORNWALL COAST PARTS WASHED ASHORE TO BE EXAMINED BY EXPERT. (British Official News.) Praia Association- By Wireless—Copyright. RUGBY, September 13. (Received September 14, at noon.) A search is being made at Newquay, on the coast of Cornwall, for the wrecked aeroplane which was sighted about two miles out at sea yesterday. Two parts of the aeroplane have been washed ashore —the rudder and a part of a wing. The wrecked machine was in a direct line out to sea from where the rudder was found, but owing to the rough sea it was impossible to then launch a boat. Early to-day fishing vessels, equipped with auxiliary motors, left for the spot where the wreckage was sighted, and cruised lor several hours in all directions. No lurther trace was, however, found of the rudder and part of a wing. There are no special marks of identification, but the Air Ministry is sending an expert to examine them. It is stated that it should be quite possible to determine the type of machine. Pieces of silver-grey fabric are attached to both the rudder and the wing of the aeroplanes which arc missing from the Atlantic flights. The Sir John Carling, piloted by Tully andMedcalf, had grey fabrics.
