HC Deb 30 March 1927 vol 204 c1269W
Colonel DAY

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he has received a full report of the accident that happened at the Royal Air Force station at Bircham Newton to a bomber machine when landing, and if he can make a statement to the House; whether either of the four airmen were seriously injured; and if instructions have been given to hold an inquiry into this accident?

Sir S. HOARE

I presume the hon. and gallant Member is referring to an accident which occurred on 18th March. The usual court of inquiry has been held, but a full report has not yet been received. One of the four members of the crew was seriously but not dangerously injured.
