about nine o'clock
She does not appear again in history till the year A.D. 1914 . It was on an evening towards the end of June , 1914 , that Flight Commander Raffleton , temporarily attached to the French Squadron then harboured at Brest , received instructions by wireless to return at once to the British Air Service Headquarters at Farnborough , in Hampshire . The night , thanks to a glorious full moon , would afford all the light he required , and young Raffleton determined to set out at once . He appears to have left the flying ground just outside the arsenal at Brest about nine o'clock . A little beyond Huelgoat he began to experience trouble with the carburettor . His idea at first was to push on to Lannion , where he would be able to secure expert assistance ; but matters only getting worse , and noticing beneath him a convenient stretch of level ground , he decided to descend and attend to it himself . He alighted without difficulty and proceeded to investigate .
