| G.32. Reference:- Ryc. 9/BC. 3.11.39. To:- RM. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Viarley. CRASHED HEINKEL 'PLANE. The Machine Guns on the crashed Heinkel seem to me to be very light and compact. They might be worth having a look at, from the point of view of the feeding mechanism for the rounds. I understand the Guns are in the possession of the Armament Branch, presumably at Farnborough [typed word struck through, with handwritten corrections 'Bamburgh.' above and 'Farnboro'!' below].
