SMITH AND SHIERS FORCED DOWN
MELBOURNE, 27th April
A message from, Bangkok states that Smith and Sliiers were forced down in rough country 30'miles from the Siamese capital. The men were 1 --unhurt but a wing of the ’plane was broken and the flight may be abandoned. The ’plane was unable to take off fully loaded from Singora, on the Malay east coast, owing to the aerodrome’s limited space. It therefore had to start with a minimum load-, which, proved insufficient to reach Bangkok.
