THE TREK Part Four NEXT MONTH Walla Walla / Brocklesby/Walbundrie/ On 29 September 1940, a mid-air collision occurred over Brocklesby, Morven , Australia. The accident was unusual in that the aircraft involved, two Avro Ansons of No. 2 Service Flying Training School RAAF, remained locked together after colliding, and then managed to land safely. Both navi- gators and the pilot of the lower Anson bailed out after the air- craft struck. The pilot of the upper Anson, however, found that he was able to control the interlocked
