“Ghost Plane*’
Scares England
LONDON, (i^P) — Recurring re
ports of a midnight “ghost plane”
swooping out of the east at tremen
ous speed gave the British press
= n a Zonal aviation mystery to
hvt the Royal Air Force, while
.n_ the whole thing va =
“slightly my-teriou refused to
ge: excised.
Zye-wi*nes? accounts said the
mystery craft, fi"5t plotted by
radar early in January, zooms over
he East Anglia coast—as though
it came from the Continent—and
disappears inland at a speed of 400
miles an hour or more.
What is even odder is that the
plane has never been seen making
•he return journey from England
to the Continent. RAF night fight
e « have tried regularly to inter
cept the “ghost plane” but so far
have been unsuccessful.
The difficulty in bringing up
cnildren to be good citizens is to
find a suitable model to work by.
