MISHAP TO AEROPLANE.

PROPELLER AND CARRIAGE SMASHED. Napier, Nov. 11. Captain Bolt met with a slight mishap this morning with Goodwin and Chichester’s Avian biplane when landing on a ground on the outskirts of Napier. The machine struck a rather swampy patch and the pilot endeavoured to rise again to recover, and the machine left the ground safely, but unfortunately the top wires of a. fence caught the under-carriage and threw the head of the machine towards the ground, with the result that both blades of be propeller snapped off short. The under-carriage was badly damaged and one wing slightly affected. Captain Bolt and his one passenger were not injured.
