"AEROPLANE MISHAP.
Embedded in Hayling Foreshore.
A private aeroplane, which had been chartered by Capt. J. A. E. Long, of Southsea (son of Mr. C. E. B. Long, of Fareham), to get him to Hayling Island speedily, had a mishap in landing near Sinah Farm, on Saturday morning, and became embedded in the soft foreshore. Capt. Long was badly cut about the face, and was attended by Dr. May, of Hayling. The pilot was also injured, but not seriously".
