YOUNG AIRMEN KILLED
CRASH IN TREASURE HUNT
LONDON, September 3. John James, a cousin of Lord Northbourne, and Norman Ramsay, a son of Mr. Robert Ramsay, a cricketer and aviator, well known in Australia, were j killed in an air crash at Adishnm during a treasure hunt organised by the Kent Flying Club. While the youths were circling at a height of 200 feet trying to identify the number of the car taking part in the hunt, the machine stalled, fell into a spin, and crashed. The first aerial treasure hunt was organised by Miss Siccle O'Brien in 1933. She was a daughter of Sir Timothy O'Brien, the well-known cricketer. Miss O'Brien had already lost a leg in a flying accident, and later in the year was killed in another air crash.
