By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received February 8, 10.45 p.m.)
Nicosia (Cyprus), February 8.
Flying-Officer A. E. Clouston crashed in landing. The accident was caused by a burst tyre. Neither he nor Mr. V. Ricketts, who accompanied him, was hurt.
They are returning to England by ship on February 10.
An earlier message from London stated that, according to the Istanbul correspondent of “The Times,” Flying Officer Clouston was not continuing his flight to New Zealand but was returning to London. More than half a day behind schedule on his flight from England to New Zealand in an effort to set new times for the route, Flying Officer Clouston, with Mr. V. Ricketts, spent Monday at Adana'repairing and cleaning the Comet, which was slightly damaged when he made a forced landing on a sodden field in darkness, after losing his way in a storm encountered over the Taurus Mountains, states the Adana correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph.”
Nicosia is the capital of Cyprus. In the centre of the island it stands 25 miles north-west of the seaport Larnaco.
