The Imperial Airways liner Hanni-bal, which left Jiwani (Arabia)

four passengers and a crew of four.
It was over the most
inhospitable mountains on the whole route.

Wireless message says the Hannibal is commanded, by Captain
Townsend. The liner left Jiwani at 3.32 p.m. on Friday and was due
at Sharja five hours later. The Hannibal was reported over Jask at
6.50 p.m.
Imperial Airways announced tonight that there was still no
news of the Hannibal. At dawn this morning a. [search began in which
several R.A.F. craft and the Empire flying-boat Coogee took part.
They. received cooperation of naval and merchant ships.
A message
from New Delhi says a wide search by air failed to locate the
Hannibal, which was carrying mail from India. Passengers included
Sir A. T. Pannir Selvam, Minister for Madras, who was flying to join
the Council of the Secretary of State for India.

RECORD SPOILT
LOSS OF THE HANNIBAL
(British Official Wireless.)
(Received March 8, 1.40 p.m.) |
| |
|
RUGBY, March 7.
Imperial Airways has officially an-nounced that the search for the
air-liner Hannibal has been abandoned. It is feared that she
was lost at sea and that there were no survivors of the four
passengers and the crew of four.
The statement makes it clear that
the wreckage seen by the Horsa proved not to be that of the Hannibal
and con-cludes: "The accident brings to an end
the proud record of
the eight Handley
Page 42 airliners used by Imperial
Airways.
Although between them they
carried several hundred thousand
pass-engers not one passenger had suffered
injury or loss of life." |

Hannibal Search Abandoned
THE
search for the Imperial Airways liner Hannibal, which was
lost near Jask on the Iranian coast on March 1, has been
abandoned. Previous reports, which stated that wreckage of
the aeroplane had been found, were incorrect as the wreckage
proved to be that of an old boat. No information on the
cause of the accident is yet available. It must be presumed
that the lives of the four passengers and four crew have
been lost. The mail from India, Colombo and Goa has also
been lost and that transferred at
Jask from the preceding
aeroplane. |
