BOTH OCCUPANTS KILLED.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.
Cairo, April 23.
The aeroplane which brought the Prince of Wales here from Khartoum crashed this morning when setting out on its return to Khartoum, and all the occupants were killed. The Prince of Wales is due at London on April 28 by air from Marseilles. The aeroplane crashed over Heliopolis, and the occupants, Pilot-Officer Barron and Aircraftsman Cyril David, both of No. 7 bombing squadron, were killed, says another message. The Air Ministry has no knowledge whether the machine was the one which the Prince actually flew in from Khartoum to Cairo. Eleven machines took part in the flight, ten of them escorting the Prince’s aeroplane. In any ease, it appears that Barron was not the officer who piloted the .machine in which the Prince flew.
