KIILED ON FIRST FLIGHT
Mr Clive Nuttall, younger son of the late Sir Edmund Nuttall, was killed at Nursling, near Southampton, England, on the edge of the New Forest, while having his first flying lesson. Mr A. C. Buchan, assistant instructor at the Hampshire Aeroplane Club, Southampton, was also killed. Mr Nuttall joined the club only that morning. The engine of their machine spluttered and died, and the aeroplane nose-dived into a field, in a semicircle of grid pylons. It is thought that the pilot lost control, after his engine had cut out, in trying to rise above the pylons. The accident occurred six miles from the spot where an air liner crashed a few days before. Five people were then killed.
