Death Crash" BOY, FIVE

ALLEGATION AT R.A.F. PUBLISHED
COURT MARTIAL
Suggestions that an Air Force officer led three ma- chines in an unauthorised mock attack on a fourth 'plane and thereby caused a fatal crash, were made at a court- martial at R.A.F, headquarters at Uxbridge, Middlesex, recently.
The proceedings were a sequel to the death of Pilot Officer Philip Ralph Austin-Sparks, aged 21, of No. 65 Fighter Squadron, Hornchurch, in a mid-air collision near North Weald Aerodrome on February 11.
Three Gloster Gladiator machines, led by Acting Flight Lieut. Leslie Charles Bicknell, of No. 65 Fighter Squadron, Horn- church, were said to have been involved in the "attacks" during which Flight Lieut. Bicknell's 'plane and the one piloted by Pilot Officer Austin-Sparks collided.
