Re: 8 Cylinder Marine Units for Imperial Airways I had a discussion with Mr Hagg of the Walton Yacht Works on Saturday afternoon last. He is now putting up a provisional proposition to Imperial Airways regarding the fitting of two of our 8 cylinder units in one of their tenders for which the Walton Yacht Works have recently received enquiries. He will report their reaction. Mr. Hagg is also of opinion that Imerial Airways will be prepared to pay, possibly not the full sum, but at least a reasonable figure for both these units should they agree to accept them in one of their hulls.
