PILOT TRIED TO GET UNDER RAIN CLOUDS.
(Received March 16, 9.50 a.m.) SYDNEY, March 16. It is Reginald Robinson, not Robertson, who was injured in the Vaucluse ’plane crash; He is in a critical condition. Captain Osmond Jolley, aged forty, was, with Mr Degaris, the first local business man to realise, ten years ago, the possibilities of the aeroplane in practical commerce. The ’plane had flown from Tamworth, but crossing the harbour a blinding rain squall enveloped it. The pilot, Robinson, tried to get under the clouds when he hit the flagpole. The machine crashed close to the water’s edge.
