-LOCAL PILOT KILLED INSTANTLY
"
Ronald John, Stevens, 27 years old test pilot of the Far East Aviat.on Company, was killed in an aeropane.. crash at Liuchow, Kwangsi, on Thursday.
No details of the accident were: available last night but it Was learned that Mr. Stevens killed instantly.

A tragic feature of the accident Is that Mr. Stevens was married only six months ago, to Miss Eileen de Biere, of Hongkong.
When interviewed last night, Mr. A. V. Harvey, local manarer of the Far Eastern Aviation Com- pany said that Mr. Slevens was a sound pilot with nearly nine years of flying experience.
Born at Moseley, Birmingham. Mr. Stevens entered the Royal Air Force and served for some time as Flying Officer with the 68th Night Bombing Squadron. He joined the Indian Army and cano to Hongkong as a Lieutenant in the Jat Regiment.
In April, 1932, he resigned infe commission in the Army and joined the Far East Aviation Com
any as test pilot
Most of Mr. Stevens work has been in connexion with the sale of aeroplanes to the Kwangsi Air Force, and in addition to his post as the test pilot, was also Avla- tion Adviser to the Kwangai Pro. vincial Government..
High Reputation.
In the short time he was in the service of the Far East Aviation Company, Mr. Stevens gained a reputation for safe dying, and several excellent flights stand to his .credit.
at
in July last year, following sa aerial smash Nanning be ought the badly injured pilot to Hong.ong 11 the amphibian 'plane, Cutty Sark. The injured man received attention in the Kowloon Hospital and recovered.
On March 12. Mr. Stevens flew, to Liuchow to deliver a machine to the kwangai Air Force and had been engaged there since.
Bad weather conditions between here and Liuchow prevented Mr. Harvey from lying to the soone of the accident yesterday, but weather permitting, he will at- tempt the fight this morning.
A British engineer is stationed at Liuchow to supervise the maintenance of machines and it seems fairly certain that the accident was
to not due echanical fault. Full inquiries will be made by Mr. Harvey on his arrival in Liuchow.

The late Mr. Stevens was "the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Stevens of Moseley, Birmingham, England.
