CRASH AGAINST HILL
FINDING IN AIR TRAGEDY INQUIRY DANGER OF CLOUD FLYING [Per Unitep Press Assocutioh.] WELLINGTON, June 15. “ The court is of the opinion that the accident to ZKAAL was due to an error of judgment on the part of the pilot, Ernest Roberts Boucher, in entering a cloud bank voluntarily, which could have been avoided,” states the principal clause in the finding of the Board of Inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the accident to the Auckland Aero Club’s plane at Hawkins Hill, Wellington, on March 16, resulting in the death of Mr Boucher. The board drew attention to the grave danger of cloud flying in New Zealand owing to the topography of the country and the rapidly changing meteorological conditions which might be encountered on a comparatively short flight.
