X. 3108 X. 3030 Mr. F.{Mr Friese} Cliburn, Rolls-Royce Tester, Sergeants Mess, R.A.F., Martlesham Heath, Ipswich, Dear Mr. Cliburn, I am sorry to hear you have both been down with the "Flu" but I should think with the peace celibration you will have been able to shake it off. I do not want you to loose any interest in the job you are doing because it is just as inportant now as ever, infact, it is moreso because we might not get another opportunity to carry out such a test - I should go through with it with all speed. Please send on figures of any test as soon as you get them, if we do not get them from you, we have people come here from the Air Board and talk about the results of "C" engine which we know nothing about. Yours faithfully, | ||
