AIRPLANE CRASHES
SECRET FLIGHT ENDED
CAUGHT IN WIRES
By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 10.43 a.m. LONDON, Tuesday. Another secret long-distance Royal Air Force flight project was thwarted when a plane piloted by Flight-Lieuten-ant Ragg became entangled in telegraph wires while taking off at Lympne for Tangiers and crashed. The machine was wrecked, but the pilot was not injured. The plane lumbered along the ground for some distance. When it slowly rose, Lieutenant Ragg desperately attempted to lift its nose over the wires, but the plane toppled over and crashed heavily.—A. and N.Z.
