Reportendly crashed and burned at "Stradza" (meant "strada"/street ?) Pilot Louis Bonnetete (French), radio This (Turkish) and four passengers (all UK) Rutgers Barclay, Pauline Kest, Mr Crush and Mr Repton reportendly "burned beyond recognition". (1) Operator "CIDNA". No officially confirmation of this accident. Only published in newspapers at the time. Apparently a forced landing, non fatal or a misinformation.
Note: identity of the airplane, sometimes noted as F-ALGT (cn18), seems a confusion with the crash from 15 SEP 1931 or the aircraft was non or minor damaged. It seems impossible that a completely burned airframe with a wooden wing rebuilt to flying conditions within six weeks !. CIDNA also operating Blériot-Spad S.66 with a four-seat cabin, one pilot in an open cockpit and an additional seat beside the pilot for a fifth passenger or an radio-operator
