AIR PILOT COMMENDED
INQUIRY INTO RECENT SMASH AVOIDED CHILDREN Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, Today. The board of inquiry which investigated the aviation accident on October 13, when Lieutenant Vale made a forced landing, found that the damage to the plane was not due to any negligence on the part of the club or of Lieutenant Vale. The evidence showed that had Barrington Park been free of children a safe landing would have been made, and the board commended Lieutenant Vale for the action he took in risking injury to himself rather than injury to the children playing in the park.
