DC8 CRASH INQUIRY
Advice Given Airlines (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, July 14. The Chief Inspector of Air Accidents (Wing Commander O. J. O’Brien) is expected to complete the collection of evidence on the recent DCB crash by the end of the week. He returned to Mangere from Wellington yesterday after studying evidence already obtained. He will make his report to the Minister of Civil Aviation (Mr McAlpine). The accident could not have occurred in the course of normal airline flying, said Wing Commander O’Brien. The procedures involved in training flying were far removed from those of passenger flying. He said certain facts had already emerged from the investigation. One of these points had been sent to international airlines to alert them and to ensure there was no repetition in training flying in other countries. He said he had recovered undamaged the flight recorder from the DCB. He had also interviewed Captain B. J. Wyatt and First Officer B. C. Ruffell, two of the three pilots injured in the crash. '
