"It is with regret that we have to report that two of the machines crashed, in fog, on their way to Paris on November 18. One machine crashed at Moncmaux and both occupants, Mr. Haggag and Mr. Dors, were burnt to death. The other machine crashed near Wismes-au-Val, and also caught fire, but pilot and passenger escaped unhurt." |

Fog the Enemy
IN connection with the mishaps in France last week
to two of the Avro 626 machines now en route to Egypt, certain
inaccuracies in the original reports are likely to have given a wrong impression
of what happened, and it becomes advisable to place on record the actual facts.
To begin with, the report published (not in FLIGHT) that engine trouble was a
contributory cause is wrong. A report from Sqd. Ldr. Tait makes it clear that
there was no blame whatever attaching to the Armstrong-Siddeley " Cheetah "
engines. The accidents were caused solely by the difficulties of flying in
conditions of very bad visibility. |
