FAULTS IN BLACK-OUT
RAILWAY STATION LIGHTS MOTORIST GIVEN LESSON LONDON, Aii(?. 13 The aeronautical correspondent of the Times, who flew over London in a bomber during the great "air-raid black-out," declares that bright lights were clearly visible from 4000 feet up. Railway terminals could be detected, the Thames could easily be followed and many of the outer districts could have been bombed. Hundreds of pcoplo in Edge ware Road held up n. motorist travelling with bright headlights and forced him to dim his lights. Shops which disobeyed official instructions and left their lights on had their windows broken. Although in some cases it was impossible for motorists to see pedestrians, only 20 minor casualties were reported in London, mostly due to cars ramming lamp standards.
