"Accidental Death" was the verdict at a Morecambe inquest on Mr. Pearson Hardcastle, aged 51, of Colne Bridge, Huddersfield, who fell from an aero- plane during a pleasure flight over More- cambe eanda.
The pilot, Mr. Samuel Summerfield, was exonerated from blame.
Mr. Summerfield said that Mr. Hard castle entered the machine with a woman passenger. They were not strapped in because it was not the custom to do so. He (Mr. Summerfield) had never known a man fall from an aeroplane before.
He had reached an altitude of 1,000ft. Mails brought by the above vessels were and was descending, when he saw Mr. as under: Sinking, from Shanghai and Hardcastle standing up with his arms Amoy, 203 bags; Kanchow, from Shang-above his head and then fall out. hai and Swatów, 183 bags from Shanghai
