Fatality in Scotland. IT is with the greatest regret that we have to record that two officers of the R.F.C. lost their lives in an accident near Forfar on the 14th inst. It appears that on the 13th they had flown from Montrose, and had to descend near Glamis Castle, After a new propeller had been fitted the next morning they started to return, but they were soon seen to be in difficulties, and after circling once or twice the machine crashed to the ground. Both the pilot (Lieut. Allan Hardy) and the passenger (Capt. F. G. A. Arkwright) were instantly killed. 803
