DARDANUS BACK
Bullet-Riddled Plane
Flown Herc
The bullet-riddled Imperial Ale- Dardanus ways plane
was down back to Kal Tak from Fort Bayard yesterday for further repaits. Capt J. Wilson piloted the plane secom- panied by Messr. French and Crosbie of the Imperial Airways stol.
The 80 odd bullet holes in the fuselage and wings were patched with dork fabrle and the spars which
had been almost eaten through by the stream of bullets had been re- pinced at Fort Bayard. It was dis covered after the plane had been flown from Welchow that the Japan- ese had only patched up the holes, but had not repaired any of the spars shat away under the fabric. For this reason the wings were in danger of folding up.
Examination of the aircraft at Kal Tuk yesterday revented there were about six holes in the rear freight compartment. These bullets had perforated mail from Hongkong. There were also several holes in the passengers' rents, beneath which the passengers in the pinne were forced to eroich to avoid being hi
There were two holes through the walls of the lavatory and many in the sound proof packing round the pre- sensters' cabin. It is expected that a number of bullets will be found lodged in this packing when it in re- moved for examination.
The plane will have to be sent to l Singapore for complete overhaul and renewal of parts.
