ALL COMMUNICATIONS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO THE MANAGING DIRECTOR. 15/2/39 PLEASE MARK REPLY: Personal W.A.Robotham Esq Rolls-Royce Ltd Derby Dear Robotham, Just a line to send you copies of the messages we issued yesterday on the streamline Bentley's run at Montlhery. I consider the effort an excellent one and congratulate you. It however only bears out what I saw with my own eyes. Although our messages were little published at any rate in the London papers, apart from a good write up of our copy by Thomas Wisdom/you will be pleased to hear that the BBC broadcast the run in their foreign programme in the Regional last night in German, and I believe in French. This being so our arrival in Munich will not be greeted with a brass band! They also probably broadcast the run in the Home and Empire bulletins but this I am not able to | ||
