Re: 32.EX.

When this chassis arrived from France recently as a result of an accident, our attention was drawn to damage which had been sustained to the wings owing to the method of slinging.

Will you please inform us if these wings have been repaired, and who by, as we wish to obtain particulars of the charges involved so that we can put a claim forward on the Carriers.

Re.
Attached please find Estimate from Messrs Sanderson & Holmes for this work, which is now in hand.
