TRAINING PLANE CRASHES
THE PILOT BALES OUT SYDNEY, Oct. 1. (Received Oct. 2, at 1 a.m.) An Air Force training plane crashed in the Blue Mountains to-day during thick mist. The pilot-officer, Lionel Webber, aged 23, baled out, and was unhurt. He reached a farmhouse and told his story. Lost in the mist he became detached from two other planes and searched in vain for a place to land. The machine went into a spin and caught fire, and was destroyed.
