MacFarlane, a Royal Air Force pilot, formerly of Balclutha (New Zealand), gave evidence that they saw the 'plane loop three times, after which they heard a crack that suggested something was broken. Pieces dropped from the 'plane. Squadron-Leader Tindall gave evidence that the bomber Mr MacFarlane was using was too lieavy to be looped at a high speed, as there was a danger of the structure breaking.
