FLYING FATALITY
PLANE SEEN TO BE LOSING HEIGHT DURING CIRCUIT OF AERODROME CRASH ON LOW FOOTHILL. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) BLENHEIM. This Day.
The Woodbourne crash, in which Leading Aircraftman Hathaway lost his life, occurred at about 7.20 p.m., soon after Aircraftman Hathaway had taken off on exercises involving a wide circuit of the aerodrome. The machine was seen to be losing height from about 800 feet and the crash took place on a low foothill, about three miles south-west of the aerodrome, just as the pilot was turning, preparatory to coming in to land. The machine was totally wrecked, but did not catch fire.
