Re: Mrs Billings Struck by RAF Aircraft Flying at 6ft - Info Req'd

According to The Times, Law Report, Court of Appeal, Billings v. Reed, Mr Billings "alleged that the accident was caused by the negligent management and/or control of an aeroplane at Deeping St. Nicholas, Spalding, Lincolnshire, on May 20, 1942."

"Before the trial was begun at Nottingham negligence was admitted, and the only defence relied on was that no damages were payable by reason of Section 3 of the Personal Injuries (Emergency Provisions) Act, 1939."
