Rocket Crash In Wales
LONDON, March 18. A giant British rocket had failed in flight and crashed among buildings at the British Government’s rocket-testing ground at Aberporth, on the Welsh coast, the “Daily Express” reported today. The newspaper said that the news was revealed tonight. The missile did not explode but gouged out a big crater after narrowly missing a storehouse containing several other missiles. No-one was hurt, although a dozen men were working nearby. The accident occurred last Thursday.
