FLYING ACCIDENT
SOUTHERN AIRMAN KILLED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) SOCKBURN, Saturday. After the running of the Lyttelton Plate at the C.J.C. Summer Meeting this afternoon, Mr C. M. Hill gave an exhibition of flying over the course. His machine collapsed in doing a second loop, and fell just outside the course, being smashed to pieces, while Hill was killed. At the inquest a verdict of accidental death by a fall from an aeroplane was returned. Hill had been up in the machine previously and was well satisfied with it. There was no suggestion that it had been tampered with.
