The three occupants of the aeroplane escaped without Injury, the fatalities being caused when the machine came low down over the road after an attempt to make a landing at the nerodrome.

CORRESPONDENCE.
TRAMWAY IMPROVEMENT.
[To The Editor of Hongkong Telegraph.]
Sir,-Apart altogether from the merits or demerits of the Tram- way-Bus Co. dispute, is it not about time in this year of grace 1929 that the tramway system of trane- parto antiquated, so painfully slow, noisy and uncomfortable, 30 should be replaced by something obstructing to other traffic...

On the Shaukiwan lins the slow
rate of progress, the long delays every few perches and the way one is flung about from one side of the car to the other (which get worse with the coming into opora- tion of the additional passing places), make travelling on that section an ordeal to be dreaded.

Of the four larger planes three made good landings and the fourth New low over the ground in the ordinary way before alighting, For some reason, however, the plane carried on and tore down the wooden fence which marks the boundary of the nerodrome. The height of the plane from the ground at this time can be gauged by the fact that the fence is only about four feet high.
Wing: Strikes Shed. Flying low over the road the right wing of the plane struck a wooden tea shed which stands at the corner of the narrow rond leading up to the Kowloon Golf Course and Shatin Gap.. The impact was sufficient to partially demolish the shed and to swing the plane round so that the tall enught another ten shed and

1929.
Seen in the light of day yester day the body of the plane was in- tact, but the fore part together with the planes, was completely wrecked, There was also some damage to the tail plane where it had awung round and crashed into the roof of the second tea shed.
The only damage to this build- ing was a hole in the roof but the: structure first struck was parti ally wrecked. The none of the plane was buried in a low lying deld immediately to the left of the pathway.
The plane was piloted by Licut. A.O. Watson, R.N., of H.M.S. Her- mes. He was attached to the Royal Afr Faree in 1924 and has been at Kai Tack nearly two years. The other occupants of the plane were A zergeant and a tele- graphlist. All three escaped seri- ous injury, being merely shaken by the accident.
Up to yesterday the three men killed in the accident had not been identified. One is a man of about 50 years by age while the other two are presumably about 30.
