FLYERS KILLED
Collision in Mid-air ALARMING R.A.F. RECORD (Rec. November 26, 5.5 p.m.) London, November 25. On a return journey from Leuehars (County Fife) aerodrome, the leader of four biplanes, three of which were flying in arrowhead formation, collided with another while turning at an altitude of 1900 feet. Both fell headlong 300 yards apart within sight of the proprietor of an estate. One immediately burst into flames, incinerating Flight-Lieutenant H. W. Howlett. The other pilot, Flight-Lieu-tenant G. Brookes, was killed outright. The machines were destroyed. This is the fifty-third crash and sixty-third fatality in the Royal Air Force during 1930.
