CROYDON AIR DISASTER.
* AN OBSCURE CAUSE. BY r CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. LONDON, Feb. 10. The report of the Air Ministry’s investigation of the Croydon aeroplane disaster says: No Air Ministry or Imperial Airways official was in any way negligent, and no blame is attributable to the pilot. The dive earthward was due to loss of control, combined with a stall. While the pilot, was trying to made a forced landing some defect developed, but there was nothing to show whether in the engine or its installa- ’ tion. This was not the primary cause of the accident, but may have been contributory.
