LONDON, Jan. 13. The Dakota crash in Kent appears. to present disturbing aspects of the meteorological services and traffic control systems ayailable to airliners on Pan-European routes, says the Daily Telegraph air correspondent, who asks why the plane was aliowed to leave London airport. He adds: "Either the British or French weather 'services were unable to predict the widespread fog over' France and southern Ehgland or, if this was forecast, the pilot must have been. allowed to leaVe despite the prediction." ■Referring to the pilot's atte'mpt to land in France, the correspondent says: "The controllers of the French airfields have recently shown a tendency, when visibility is poor, to believe their duties are disfchargcid, when t'hey advise the pilot to go to other airports without heing certain that the other airport is enjoying better weather." There is a strong' case, he says, for an early public enquiry.
