PLANE HITS HANGAR.
THREE GERMANS KILLED. (United Press Association —Copyright.) LONDON, Nov. 26. Three of the crew were killed when a German freight aeroplane hit a hangar in taking off from Croydon in a thick fog and burst into flames. The hangars were set on fiire and the fire brigade was summoned. Mechanics working on two passenger aeroplanes which were housed in the hangar raced for their lives as the flaming petrol flung from the burst tanks set everything ablaze. It is believed that all escaped. Officials stated that visibility was less than 10 yards. Suddenly there was a terrific crash, and the whole aerodrome was lit up by the flames, in spite of the fog.
