Saint-Nazaire, 2. - Radio-St-Nazaire received a message from the trawler "Henri-Joseph", indicating that it had been overflown by a white plane, presumably a small plane, which, three minutes later, fell into the sea. The trawler immediately went to the place but found no survivors and no wreckage.
The accident site would be located at 17 degrees 40 North and 48 degrees 45 West, off the coast of Brittany.
Bringing this information closer to the alleged disappearance of an airplane off the Croisir, fifteen days ago, one wonders, in authorized circles, if it is not rather a fall from remote-controlled craft, in tests.
