HOW BRITISH AIRMEN MET THEIR FATE

STORM DECEIVED PILOT AS TO

· HEIGHT OF MACHINE

ANEROID FAILURE

Rugby, Yesterday.

How Squadron-Leader Jones: Williams and Flight-Lieåtenant Jenkins met with their fatal dis- aster in Tunis while attempting a record non-stop flight from Bri- tain to Capetown, is the subject of 'the following statement by the Air Ministry.

The evidence gained by the offi- cials who went out to Tunia to

investigate shows conclusively that

there was no failure of the en-

gine or the aircraft. It is also certain from the logbook which has been recovered that the oc- cupants had kept exactly on their course and knew their position.

The cause of the disaster is.be-

lieved to have been that, owing to some unexplained circumstances which may include the failure of the aneroid, the pilot had reason to think that his monoplane was eeveral hundred feet higher than

it in fact was.

*

There was a savera local storm

in the area where the machine crashed, and it is belleved that the pilot only saw the hill at the last moment and, in an endeavour to clear it, the machine Iost ita fy- ing speed and dived into the ground just over the brow; an ad- ditional factor being possibly the down draught caused by the pre- |vailing wind-British Wireless
