EDMONTON CRASH
INQUEST ON THE VICTIMS VERDICT OF ACCIDENTAL DEATHS. PILOT ACTING AGAINST INSTRUCTIONS. By Telegraph—Press Association, Copyright. (Recd This Day, 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, September 7. At the inquest into the deaths of the victims of the Edmonton crash the jury returned a verdict that the deaths were due to accidental causes. It was disclosed that the pilot was acting against instructions in flying in the district. The Air Ministry has intimated that it does not disclose the findings of its own inquiries in the case of service aircraft. Including those injured who died subsequently, eleven persons lost their lives, and about twenty were injured, and three houses set on fire on September 4 when an Air Force aeroplane crashed on top of a residence at Edmonton, England, burst into flames and bounced on to houses across the road, on which the petrol tank exploded as pedestrians scattered. The plane was piloted by Sergeant S. R. Morris, who was among those killed.
