SCENE AT INQUEST.

FIANCEE'S PROTEST ABOUT AN AEROPLANE TEST.

There were a number of in- terruptions from the boly of the court at the inquest on Lieut. Roger M. Douglas, M.C. and Lieut. J. S. L. Ross, who were killed at Surbiton by their seroplane nose-diving to earth shortly after... starting from Hounslow on 2 flight to Australia.

Donald Eesdale, chief draughts- man to the Alliance Aeroplane Co. said the two officers had been flying the machine which met with disaster for about three weeks and for several hours each day.

James Arthur Peters said he designed the aeroplane, which was in perfect condition before it started. An independentexamin- ation was made on behalf of the Air Ministry. The engine had since been found to be în perfect mechanical order.

Miss Mabel Desmond Woolley, who was dressed in black, stated sho was the fiancee of Lieut. Douglas, and asked permission to put a question to the experts. This was: "Whether they thought a five minutes' flight from Acton to Hounslow- was a' sufficient test for anaeroplane before a flight of several thousand miles to Australia was attempt- ed?"

"My boy," she. add." did not fly that machine until he left Acton Aerodrome for Hounslow previous to the flight. It was not ready, before."

The coroner said he was only inquiring into the cause of death. Misa Woolley, Then you miss the things that matter.":

The Coroner: That means I am, incompetent or not, doing my | duty 7

Miss Woolley: I think you are not doing your duty.

The Coroner: Very well, you can apply to the Lord Chancellor and say 20%)

The jury found that death was absolutely a accidental and no
