AVIATION EXPERIMENTS
MACHINE FALLS INTO THE SEA,
(BT TELBORAPH.—TOBSS ASSOCIATION.)
AUCKLAND, 31st August.
• While a pupil of the Kohimarama Aviation School was ' making a flight in a Caudron seaplane he met with an accident, resulting in the machine falling into the sea and causing damage to the wooden framework and to one of the floats. The pupil escaped with an immersion in the water. The mishap was caused by the machine ascending at too acute~an angle, or, in professional language, "stalling."' The ' seaplane was about 70ft in the air when it fell. A launch attached to the Aviation School went to the rescue, and, after taking the pilot on board, towed the damaged machine ashore.
