§ Mr. BILLINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War how many accidents, fatal or otherwise, have occurred on RE 8 machines flying in this country since the introduction of this type?
§ Major BAIRDI regret that I am unable to supply the figures for which the hon. Member asks. They would be entirely misleading unless they were accom- 347W panied by a statement of the number of machines of this type in use and of the pilots who fly them which it would be against the public interest to give.
§ Mr. BILLINGasked what type of aeroplane Second Lieutenant Cyril Harvey Trollope was flying when he was killed at Doncaster on 4th May; and also what type of machine Lieutenant Fletcher was flying when he was killed in this country last month?
§ Major BAIRDBoth the casualties referred to occurred on an RE 8 machine.
