Falling from a height of 1500 ft, Lieutenant Reynolds, one of the British Army airmen, had a remarkable escape from death recently. When- flying to Thetfcrd, in Norfolk, from Marsh Gibbon, Lieutenant Reynolds, when about two miles from Bletchlev, Northaints, encountered very strong currents at a height of 1500 ft. Suddenly his machine was caught by a gust, and, turning three somersaults, crashed to earth. Lieutenant Reynolds escaped with- only slight injuries to the head and arms.
