Stationery Office. These Regulations will come into operation on July 12. Since May, 1919, arrangements made by the Air Ministry with aircraft companies and the owners of aircraft have enabled this Department without statutory powers to conduct enquiries into accidents with the good will of the parties concerned. It was felt, however, that the conduct of such enquiries should ultimately be placed on a statutory basis in the same way as enquiries into accidents in other industries, notably those of shipping and railways, and accordingly power was taken in the Air Navigation Act, 1920, enabling the Secretary of State for Air to issue regulations for the investigation of accidents by air. The regulations now issued are based upon three years' experience of the voluntary system which has hitherto existed, and their main features are as follows :— (1) Compulsory notification of accidents. (2) Statutory powers for preliminary investigation of accidents by an Inspector of Accidents appointed by the Secretary of State. (3) Statutory powers to order, if deemed necessary, a formal investigation by a person specially appointed by the Secretary of State. (4) Statutory authority for the publication of the whole or part of the report of an investigation. m m A New Junkers Three-seater A NEW Junkers monoplane has just been completed which appears to promise well.
