Hunting
meet at Southcott Green, Linslade [Z1432/2]
Wednesday
24th September 1918: While flying
over Linslade at about noon yesterday, the pilot of an aeroplane was forced to
land in a field at Southcourt [Southcott] due to engine trouble. Repairs were
made to the machine during the afternoon, but attempts to get airborne failed.
Further equipment arrived late last night and the pilot, Captain Waller of
Hendon, was able to take off successfully this morning. The aeroplane was
guarded overnight by the Volunteers under the command of Captain W. S. Mahony.
