PLANE CRASH
MACHINE BADLY DAMAGED PILOT ESCAPES INJURY (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Apl. 29. Severe damage was caused to an Oxford training aircraft when it crashed at Rongotai this afternoon, but the pilot. Leading Aircraftman J. J. Fox, the only occupant, was not injured. The pilot was on a routine flight from Ohagea to Blenheim, when he was compelled to land at Rongotai because the weather made it unsafe to cross to the South Island. In doing so, he overshot the aerodrome, and crashed through the boundary fence, the machine overturning.
