The Inquiry into the deaths of the threa victims of the aeroplane crash at the Kai Tack Aerodrome, following the aerial demonstration on the departure of HRH the Duke of Gloucester for Japan, was concluded yesterday, when the Jury returned a verdict that the deceased met their deaths through an error of judgment on the part of the pilot in landing

For the prosecution, A. S. P. Murphy said that defendant was nasigned to search duty on river steamers on the waterfront. On April 19 last, when he was off-duty, he intercepted Ngau Wah, an em- ployee of the Lee On wineshop at Shantung Street, Yaumati, and de- Squadron Lender Keeble, In manded to search, his person for reply to the Coroner, entd that he wine-labels, giving it out that he had been stationed at the Kaf was an officer of the Revenue De-Tack Anrodrome, on and off, since partment.

BUSES COLLIDE.

SLIGHT INJURIES TO TWO

PASSENGERS.

An unusual collision between two motor buses occurred near the Peninsula Hotel yesterday after noon, as a result of which an In- dian named Nawah Khan, barber, No. 87. Austin Road, ground floor, and a Chinese wudan, Shek Fang, of No. 264. Temple Street, were sent to Kowloon Hospital with slight injuries, but were not de- tained.

It appears at about three o'clock four molor buses were proceeding along Salisbury Road towarda Nathan Road. The leading bus, which belonged to The China Motor Bus Company, stopped after turning into Nathan Road just be- fore the first stopping place was reached. The following bus had sufficient reer to pull up behind but the third hus collided with the rear of the second bus and the fourth crashed into the back of the third. Having just rounded the carner none of them were travel

lug fast with the result that ittle damage was done..

It is not known exactly how the injured people received their hurls, but it is believed they were thrown forward, Nawab Khan sustained infurtes te his left tem- plc,, nose and mouth, and the woman to her right side.

LETTER GOLF SOLUTION.

Witness repeated what he had said at a previous hearing, that there were two runs of 600 yards at the aerodrome. One from East

to South.

The Coroner: How does that compare with other aerodromes? Witness: Well, it is bigger, than several aerodromes at Home,' but there are others double the' Rizc.

and the Coroner summed up at some length.

Nat Dangerous, Answering the foreman of the jury, witness sald that Lleut, Wat- on could have landed very much Ife farther back than he did. could have landed 400 yards from the fence Instead of 200 yards. Witness estimated that it would take five minutes for ten planes to land one after the other; in fnet, witness said that five chines had been known to at the same time.

Witness did not consider the landing of planes at 6.40 pm: dangerous: It was no safer to use seaplanes than aeroplanes. In fact, there were no seaplanes at the Aerodrome, all having been converted into land planes.

When asked if the Aerodrome, when extended, would allow for greater margin of safely, witness said that a circle drawn from the centre of the Aerodrome when extended, would give a diameter of 900 yards.

Continuing, witness said that when the Aerodrome was first laid out the high-tension cables and the telegraph poles, near the place where the fence was broken in the accident, were removed so as to avoid mishaps. He thought it would be safer if matsheds were not erected in that particular

short retirement the jury made the following replies to the questions put to them by the Coroner:

1. The deceased were struck by an aeroplane piloted by Lieut. Watson, R. N.

2. No; but by an error of judg ment in effecting a landing which the pilot discovered. too late to allow of his attempt to take off again being successful, owing to the restricted space at his dis- posal.

The added:

following riders were

That in the opinion of the jury although the extent of the Aero- drome is adequate for normal pur- poses, the margin of anfety is too small and that work of extension should be accelerated as much as possible.

They consider that in the mean- time flights of a considerable number of heroplanes for demon- stration should be avoided as they are likely to attract people un- necessarily in the vicinity of the Aerodrome.."

The Jury in conclusion added an expression of sympathy with the relatives of the deceased.
