KILLED INSTANTLY
CIVILIAN PILOT
(P.A.) TIMARU, Sunday. An air fatality occurred to-day when Mr. Kenneth Walter Cox, aged 27, was killed at Fairview. He took up for the first time a single-seater aeroplane which he purchased in Christchurch a month ago. The machine did not gain much altitude and was flying down a gully above a creek when it crashed. Mr. Cox, who was a carpenter by trade and not an experienced pilot, was killed instantly.
