PLANE DAMAGED
Auckland Avian Hits Fence By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, May 24. Extensive damage resulted to the Sports Avian aeroplane owned by the Auckland Aero Club when the machine struck a fence as it was about to land at Hobsonville air base. The machine was piloted by Mr Aubrey Breckon, who had as passenger a mechanic from Mangcre aerodrome, but both occupants escaped injury. The Avian struck the ground on the nose and the propeller was broken. Damage also resulted to tbo wings and undercarriage, and it was feared upon examination that the strain caused generally by the crash would make reconstruction of the frame necessary. The engine was evidently not affected.
