Lowenstein Affair
Aeroplane Impounded Theories To Be Tested At the direction of the Air Ministry, the aeroplane from which Captain Lowenstein, the Belgian millionaire, disappeared while flying from Croydon to Brussels, has been detained at Croydon. It was last night locked in a hangar, pending expert examination of the door of the machine to test the theories advanced to account for his fall. Captain Drew, the pilot of the aeroplane, characterised as ridiculous the rumours that Captain Lowenstein either did not enter the aeroplane or left it secretly on reaching the French coast. An official at Croydon also declared that such reports were fantastic. Captain Lowenstein was seen to leave in the machine by Air Ministry officials.
