Minister's Thrill Bomber Forced To Land In Clearing
Melbourne reports the Minister for Defence Mr. Thorby and three aides survived a forced landing after sleet and wing ice trapped their Avro Anson bomber in a mountain paddock near Albury. Pilot Officer Durant guided the damaged craft to a safe if narrow clearing. Officials deem future de icing gear for Air Force planes likely. The minister intended to return to Melbourne for urgent Cabinet air mail surcharge decisions.
