"REDHILL FLYING CLUB MEMBER HURT IN CRASH
While on a solo training flight from Redhill aerodrome on Friday afternoon last, Mr. Edward M. Noyes, aged 37, of Lymwood Road, Epsom, a member of the Redhill Flying Club, met with a serious accident, with his Magister training aircraft crashing on to a field at Horne. Police were soon upon the scene from Lingfield, and rendered first aid while ambulances were summoned from the Redhill County Hospital and Horley, the latter in charge of St. John Ambulance members.
The injured man, who appeared to have fractures of one or both legs, was admitted to the East Grinstead Hospital, and is reported to be going on well as can be expected. Fortunately, the crashed machine did not, as so often happens, burst into flames. This is the first flying mishap involving personal Injuries which has occurred to any member of the Club for over three years."
