FORCED LANDING
Pilot Loses Way In Fog
At Makara
Through losing his way in a thick fog while flying from Blenheim to Masterton yesterday morning, Mr. D. Stewart, a member of the Wairarapa Aero Club, had to make a forced landing in a field at Makara.
Residents said that the Moth aeroplane which Mr. Stewart was flying circled several times before landing. Through cattle being in the way slight damage was done to a wing of the machine, and this will have to be repaired before the aeroplane is flown. The pilot was not injured.
