TRAGIC AIR MISHAP
AIRMAN DIES AS HE TAKES OFF
Plane Soars To 2,000 Feet And Dives
PASSENGERS FIGHT TO REACH CONTROLS
Johannesburg.
A few seconds after taking off in his private aeroplane, with two passengers, Dr. Dalton, the 53- the Benoni year-old captain of Flying Club, had a heart seizure recently and died at the controls.
The machine immediately soared to 2,000ft out of control, while the passengers, Miss Nora Atwell, aged 18, and MS R Kruger, a mine. shift boss made frantic efforts to reach the con- trols. The plane circled and dived high in the air while they endeavoured to drag the doctor's body from the cockpit through a narrow space to the passengeri seats
When a crash appeared almost inevitable, Mr. Kruger, who has had zine hours” flying experience. was able to reach the control with! the tips of his fingers. The ma- chine dived down and missed col- liding with high tension electric: wires by inches.
It then made a "pancake" land- jing in the open veld.. smashing| under-carriage, but the two pas sengers were practically unhurt.
