FLYING PUSS MOTHS
AUSTRALIAN BAN RESULT OF ACCIDENT. LONDON, Nov. 3. Commenting on the prohibition by the Australian civil aviation authorities of the flying of Puss Moth aeroplanes, until further notice, the aeronautical correspondent of The Tinies recalls that evidence given at the inquiry into the Farnham fatality in August showed that the machine’s failure was due to damage suffered in a previous accident. Possibly, the correspondent says, there is a similar explanation for the Myocum tragedy in New South Wales which led to the prohibition, and this has prompted the suggestion that the wreckage should be sent to Britain to enable its examination bv expert?. Meanwhile, if the prohibition is enforced, it affects less than twelve aeroplanes.
