KYEEMA AIR CRASH
INQUIRY ENDED
EVIDENCE OF DEPARTMENTAL DELAY
MELBOURNE, November 30,
The Kyeema air crash inquiry, which lasted 23 days., closed today. The transcript of evidence occupies 1500 pages.
Mr. E. G.'Coppel, for the Civil Aviation Board, said that the delay in purchasing a plane to test the radio beacons was the responsibility of the Federal Government. There had been no delay in the manufacture of the beacons, and their installation was not hindered except for the provision of a building, which was the responsibility of the Department of the Interior.
He said that the Board had gone as far as it could to stir that Department into activity. The delay in the provision of buildings was a handicap, but for which the whole story might have been different.
