Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd.,

For the attention of Mr. Viale.

Dear Sirs,

We are enclosing herewith prints, as promised by our Mr. Green, showing positions of pneumatic connections at keel of Beaufighter, together with sketch showing standard lengths of flexible pneumatic hose as at present used. We also enclose an amended copy of drawing No. K.11041 on previous issues of which several dimensions were incorrect by 0.25". We trust this has not caused any inconvenience.

We should be pleased to receive preliminary copies of amended mountings as soon as they are available.

Yours faithfully,

L.G. Frise.

Chief Designer.
