Soturdoy, September 3, 1946 THE OSHAWA TIMES, 27 Plane Crash Investigated Ry BORIC BOSKOVIC LIURLIANA. Yudeosiavia |AP)--A tape recording, a pile of twisted wreckage and the horror-filled memories of 22 sur- vivors lay like an unworked puz- zie today before investigators seeking the cause of the British airliner crash that killed 95 per- sons near here, Yugoslav and British experts found no immediate explanation of why the four-engined turbo- prop, a Britannia 102, came in far too low for a landing 25 minutes ahead of schedule and then plummeted into a wood early Thursday. After what seemed like a rou- tine approach on a night flight from London, the Britannia Alr- ways Ltd. charter plane crash and burned two miles from Brnik Airport. It was carrying 110 Britons on a low-budget holi- day to Yugoslavia and a crew of seven. Eighty persons, in- cluding the two pilots, were killed outright. Fifteen others died in hospitals or on the way. Britannia Airways is part of the subsidiary operations owned by Lord Thomson, Canadian- born publisher. A Thomson spokesman said the airline was expanded to carry passengers for two tourist companies also owned by the Thomson organ- ization. The company transported) 100,000 persons on overseas holi- days in 1965. Two months ago "PHILCO "IMPERIAL GOL trol 23" TELEVISION PHILCO COOL CHASSIS Beats the Heat, Major cause of T.V.

ARE CRITICAL Two girls among the 22 per- sons taken to hospital remained in critical condition. The tape recording registered at the airport the conversations between the plane crew and the control tower. The Yugoslav civil aeronautics board said the piece of tape, plus a check of the alrport's radio - navigation instruments, showed that every- thing functioned normally on the ground, The recording was seated and put at the disposal of a Yugo- slav investigative commission and several experts flown here by the airline British Power Minister Rich- ard Marsh, who was vacation- ing in Yugoslavia and came to the scene immediately, ex- pressed confidence investigators would find the cause of the crash, Yugoslavia"s worst air- line disaster, Officials said Thursday that regular radio contact had been established with the pilot, who was poyced as saying "Every- 50-ft, GARDEN | 10" Teflon Pans : HOSE com «m gy| 1.69 | FURNITURE Chesterfield, Chrome Suites, Continental Beds, Chairs, Bunk Beds, Lamps, Bedroom Suites, Mattresses ALL UP TO PAYMENT ist Quality Nylons S 400 Needle, "TIL NOV. 19c» NA PHILCO Benen ve 23" T Compact LOWBOY.
