The first landed in a field 150 yards from spectators during a display of crazy flying when a wing touched the ground.

The second, piloted by Dick Emery, the comedian, crashed during takeoff, ripped the roof off an estate car in which a woman was sitting, tore through a fence, and landed in the V.I.P. enclosure. Mrs. Ann Proctor of Camberley, Surrey, in the car, was unhurt. Mr. Emery, and Mr, Brian Smith, his passenger, were also unhurt. The Royal Aeronautical Society, who organized the display to celebrate their centenary, blamed a gusty wind for the accidents."
