Hotchkiss, who were killed while aeroplaning near Oxford, belonged to the flying corps, and were proceeding to the manoeuvres in Norfolk. They were volplaning after stopping the engine. One officer was thrown out, falling into a stream. Lieutenant Hotchkies was piloting the monoplane, a machine of the " British " type, which recently won the War Office prize of £500. During the descent the monoplane backed sharply, and one of the planes collapsed. The final entry in th 6 diary reads:— "Over Oxford. Struck rainstorm. Very ."
