LADY TEDDER
KILLED IN PLANE CRASH IN EGYPT
WHILE RETURNING FROM TOUR OF HOSPITALS.
WIFE OF AIR CHIEF MARSHAL,
(By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.15 a.m.) CAIRO, January 5.
Lady Tedder was killed in an air crash west of Cairo, while returning from a tour of welfare centres and hospitals in Cyrenaica. She and Air Chief Marshal Sir A. Tedder were about to return to Britain.
The plane, in which Lady Tedder was returning from Benghazi, crashed late yesterday afternoon. There were no survivors. Lady Tedder arrived in Cairo last June and devoted her energies to the welfare of the men under her husband’s command by regularly visiting hospitals and welfare centres. Sir A. Tedder cancelled a farewell meeting with pressmen and proceeded to the scene of the crash.
From the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Air Forces in the Middle East, Sir A. Tedder was promoted recently to that of Vice-Chief of the British Air Staff, the second most important position in the Royal Air Force.
