It is important in the public interest that the causes of accidents to aircraft should in all cases be thoroughly investigated not only for the purpose of an inquest when death is caused, but with a view to discovering means for preventing other accidents, and as the Club has the best expert assistance at its command, it has been arranged that, immediately on notice being requested of an accident, an expert will be sent to the place for the purpose of making the examination and the Club's representatives will be provided with a special badge fot purposes of identification. The Secretary of State will be glad if you will instruct the members of your Force to assist in this matter as far as possible, in the event of an accident occurring in your District. This can best be done by sending immediate information of the accident by telegram to the Royal Aero Club, 166 Piccadilly, London W. (Telegraphic address "Aerodom. London" Telephone No. 1327 Regent) by rendering the Club's representative's when he arrives all reasonable assistance, and, pending his arrival by taking effective steps to prevent any unauthorised person from interfering with the wreckage or removing any part of it. No disturbance whatever of the wrecked machine should be permitted except for the purpose of extricating the occupants, and any portion of it which may have been necessarily disarranged in so doing should carefully be restored to its place by those who moved it, a note being made of what has been done. In the event of an inquest being held, it is of great importance that the wreckage should be kept as far as possible"in status quo" and that all broken portions of the machine should be carefully preserved and identified. If there is a reason to believe that the aircraft belongs to the Admiralty or the War Office, no telegram to the Royal Aero Club is necessary, but a telegram should be sent, in the case of the Admiralty, aircraft to The Commanding Office, Naval Flying School, Eastchurch ( Telegraphic address, Aeroplanes, Eastchurch): and in the case of the Millitary Wing of the Royal Flying Corps, South Farnborough (Telegraphic address Aeronautics, South Farnborough) adding if possible, the number of the machine. An Officer will be sent by the Naval or Millitary Authorities, as the case may be, to take charge of the Machine and to arrange for the necessary Naval or Military enquiry. Should the police, owing to difficulty of identification, report an accident to the wrong Authority (e.g. a Service aircraft to the Royal Aero Club, or a Military Aircraft to the Naval Authorities) the Authority receiving the telegram will take the necessary steps to forward the information to the proper quarter. I am, Sir. Your Obedient Servant Edward Troup. The circular letter forwarded herewith will be placed in the Guard Books for Acts of Parliament with the Aerial Navigation Act, Statutory Rules and Orders, and Circular Letter forwarded with G.O. 132/1913, dated 7th May 1913.
