| X 1380 Exptl. Dept. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 7/KW. 25th August, 1936. Capt. G.E.T. Eyston, 16, Hanover Road, LONDON, N.W.10. Dear Capt. Eyston, Sorry I missed you on the telephone to-day. Confirming the suggested arrangements, I propose to go down to Bristol to-morrow afternoon, Wednesday the 26th, taking with me Paravicini who is our wind tunnel expert. If you are going to be in Bristol on Wednesday afternoon I can meet you there, and will ring up Bristol 67492 when I arrive, which I expect will be about 7.30 p.m. I am not quite clear whether you wish me to do anything with regard to informing Bristols of the proposed date of my visit, but unless I hear to the contrary on Wednesday morning I shall assume that you are informing Branwell and making any other arrangements that are necessary. I am particularly anxious to leave Bristol by 2 p.m. on Thursday, though possibly Paravicini could stay on if this were necessary. Yours sincerely, | ||
