You can get a copy from:

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills


I think they cost £1.50

just lists Probate, no Will.

Yes, you need to apply for a copy which is emailed to you.

Probate is to two solicitors who will deal with her instructions, bequests etc. in the Will

Reading the report, I don't understand how a passenger sitting behind the propeller would get such an injury. More likely when she "cranked" the propeller-as that sort of injury was common. Evidence given in court may not have been true of course

Perhaps the aircraft was of "pusher" design, with the propeller behind the engine. Possibly a Farman - like this one pictured at Hendon in 1913:

So would the prop, be behind the passenger seat at the rear? In court she says, she turned to wave at the crowds and two fingers made contact with the prop.

[ShaunJ]

Yes in a pusher design the propeller is at the back.

Yes in a pusher design the propeller is at the back.

She would have to lean a long way back, for her hand to come in contact though!

[artifis]

Two possible passenger seating/engine mounting configurations that could allow a passenger's hand to come into contact with the propeller:

Passenger sat behind the pilot and the engine mounted above the top wing with the propeller behind the engine 'pushing' the plane forward.

Passenger sat in front of the pilot and the engine mounted above the top wing with the propeller in front of the engine 'pulling' the plane along.

I can visualise both configurations but I can't remember the names of the planes.
