| 1245 BP/Yl. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/R.4.7.38. I am probably going over to Paris next week, and would like you, provisionally, to book me a seat on the machine which leaves Heston Airport @ 10.50.a.m. Monday. Presumably it is possible to reserve a seat without actually paying for it, as I shall not be certain whether I am going over until later in the week. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
