FLIGHT TO ENGLAND
ANOTHER ADVENTURE ENDS. (United Press Association—By Klectrle Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received April 27, 5.5 p.m.) MELBOURNE, April 27. A message from Bangkok states that Messrs Smith and Shiers’s ’plane was forced down in rough country, thirty miles from the Siamese capital. The men are unhurt, but the wing of the ’plane is broken, and the flight may be abandoned.
The ’plane was unable to take off fully loaded from Singora, on the Malay east coast, owing to the aerodrome’s limited space. It therefore had to start with a minimum load, which proved insufficient to reach Bangkok.
