...Delhi, at 7:58 a.m. with an instructor, Captain Subhash Saxena. Impatient as ever, he did not climb to the minimum 5,000 ft. before starting his spins and dives. Apparently the engine stalled. At 8:10 the plane crashed in Chanakyapuri, not far from the house at 12 Willingdon Crescent where Sanjay had lived with his mother before her January victory, and where he and his supporters had since had their offices. Both Sanjay and the instructor were killed instantly...

Nehru moved about at receptions with high good humor and grace. At India House, he shook hands with the Dowager Marchioness of Willingdon, whose husband had jailed him; at Buckingham Palace, he ate from His Majesty's gold plate, a delightful change from the tin service he had known as a nine-year guest in H.
