LOCAL PLANE MISSING

Anxiety For Safety

Of Student

Despite the fact that a most thorough search was carried out by the authorities of the Far East- Aviation School for B. Lec I student who had beer missing since 11.45 a.m. yesterday, nothing had been seen or him up to the time going to Press. The search, which began yesterday afternoon after Lee had been missing for some hours. was con- tinued this morning and is, ne- cording to our information, still going on.

of

Lee took off yesterday at 11.45 a.m. and it is not thought likely that he has taken the plane out- side the Colony. Aviation School authorities said they expected he had landed on one of the islands adjacent to Hong Kong owing to some defect in the engine and that he has not yet been able to communicate with Hong Kong. The lack of wind yesterday made sampan or junk travel very slow and it was hoped that Lee was making his way homeward in a small boat.

AMPLE PETROL SUPPLY When the plane, an Avro cadet marked VR-HCM. did not return after 45 minutes the time it wa expected to be absent) no alarm was felt since there was an ade- quate margin "of petrol. As time passed, however. tears for Lee's safety began to be felt and at 2.30 p.m. when the petrol in the plane would have expired had it con- tinued to fly since 11.45 3.m.. other. planes owned by the School toox off. Lt. P. Holroyd-Smith, Chief Flying Instructor, himself did about six hours flying yesterday afternoon searching for the lost plane but without success. "It is understood he again went up this morning.

Lee was doing the three hours, sole flying necessary for him to regain his licence yesterday but under local regulations was oblig- ed to remain within three miles of the airport. The thorough search carried out later in the afternoon demonstrated that he was not in the vicinity of the city or near Kal Tak.

The usual broadcast to shipping and notincation to all outport Folice stations was made yester day afternoon and a sharp watch is being kept at many points for news of the lost filer, who, though he is not at the moment licenced to fly is quiet competent.
