Mrs Hinchcliffe described to a gathering of women an eeltie night visit of the late Captain Hinchcliffe, who was lost on an Atlantic flight with the Hon. Elsie Mackay. She said that she and three friends, one of whom was a medium, were awakened by the sound of heavy footsteps. It was just the same as when her husband used to leave the house early in the morning on flying duty wearing heavy flying boots. At a subsequent seance she spoke to Hinchcliffe, who said he had been in the house, and added that ho was very busy impressing people on the earth with the value of aviation and instructing them. Mrs Hinchcliffe remarked to the audience that she had already noticed that several people interested in flying had taken up spiritualism, which she attributes to her husband.

Hinchcliffe said ho had met a lot of the old crowd again who had been killed in the war time. He had manifested himself holding a large torch, the light of which fell on the -faces of the sitters who saw him and signed a certificate thcreanent.
