FLYING DOCTOR FINED
Endangered Public Safety (Received 14, 11.30 a.m.) DARWIN, May 14. For having endangered public safety by low flying over Darwin, Dr. Clyde Cognwall Fenton was fined £2O with £6 15/6 costs. A stay of proceedings was granted. On Sunday Dr. Fenton flew over a hundred miles to attend a man who was seriously ill. Since his license was suspended he has made eight flights, four of which were urgent calls. The pilot’s license of the Government “flying doctor” in the Northern Territory, Dr. O. Fenton, was suspended recently by the Darwin representative of the Civil Aviation Department for low flying over the town. The certificate of airworthiness for his plane was also suspended, because it was alleged that he stunts over Darwin and that the plane is not in a fit condition for stunting.
