Abstract
IT is with deep sorrow that we have to record the death of the Hon. C. S. Rolls by an accident on Tuesday last, during the aviation meeting at Bournemouth. It seems that Mr. Rolls went up in his biplane for the alighting competition, and during the descent the newly fitted tail-piece of his aëroplane suddenly broke, and the whole machine collapsed and fell to the earth from a height of forty or fifty feet. Mr. Rolls was picked up unconscious and, died almost immediately from concussion and laceration of the brain.
