| 1070- PRIVATE. W/S. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/R.29.9.38. JAGUAR CAR. Replying to Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}8/AH.24.9.38., this car has now nothing to do with the Experimental Dept. On Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}' instructions we handed it over to Leslie who is using it for transport purposes in connection with outside purchasing of materials. I have spoken to Leslie, however, who will be ringing you up at 3.0'clock to ask you to take the car to Park Wards, and afterwards send it to Derby. He had parted with it for the week-end in order that it might be lent to an important Air Ministry Official. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
