Re: FLIGHT LIEUTENANT POTTS. The above has just purchased a Straight 8 Hupmobile and is spending some of his leave in Scotland and Harrogate. I suggested that he might call in and see you on his return and you would then have an opportunity of trying this car if it is of any interest. Lp.{Mr Lappin} | ||
