AEROPLANE HEARD.
A CHERTSEY STORY. Three persons at Cbertsey claim to have heard an aeroplane about mid-, night on Tuesday. The stories all agree that the aeroplane arrived oyer the district a few minutes before midnight and after circling round for half an hour, went off eastward toward the sea. Mrs H. M. Copland, who lives neai* Chertsey, Mrs W. G. Copland, who lives about seven miles away, and a Mr Baker, from the North Island, all claim to have heard the ’plane. Mrs H. M. Copland is positive that it was a ’plane she heard, because the nearest road is three-quarters of a mile away, and is not used by motor traffic to any extent. The main' road is two miles off. She states that she did not see the ’plane as the night was cloudy, but the noise was at tipies directly overhead. None of them saw the machine, but all are convinced it was there.
