INQUEST INTO AIRMEN’S DEATHS
(P.A.) NEW PLYMOUTH, Nov. 21. A formal verdict was returned today by Mr W. H. Woodward, S.M., District Coroner, at the inquest into the deaths of Flight-Lieutenant Harold Cuthbert Wiles and Aircraftman Norman William Wilson. Both were killed when a machine of the R.N.Z.A.F. crashed about two miles to the north-west of the aerodrome when engaged in night flying training operations on October 15. Finding that death was instantaneous and resulted from multiple injuries caused when the machine crashed and caught fire, Mr Woodward said a full technical inquiry had been held into the accident and no doubt any measures to prevent similar accidents suggested as a result of that inquiry would be taken.
