Tasmania.
Press Association—Copyright. Received 11.45 a.m. Hobart, To-day.
Pilot-Officer G. K. Buscombe and Sergeant W. H. Gould, whose ’plane has been missing since Thursday, were found alive and well beside their wrecked Hawker Demo ’plane in wild and hilly country near Waratah. The men had an amazing escape from death.
The 'plane crashed on a hillside when the pilot was attempting to make a forced landing after the tip of one wing struck a tree in a fog. The machine turned upside-down. Lieut. Buscombe was trapped in the cockpit but escaped with minor injuries. Sergeant Gould was saved by a rubber vest which had been inflated.
