Dear Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} , Many thanks for yours of the 16th. I am sorry I have not answered this before but I have only just returned from a Refresher Course at C.F.S. In regard to safety fuel, I think the best idea is for you to write to Intava - International Aviation Associates, Artillery House, Artillery Row, London, S.W.1. and ask them whether they can supply any of this material. I doubt, at the moment, whether there is very much of it in the country, if any. Please let me know the results of your enquiry and if you cannot get much change out of them, I will make efforts in other directions. All the best. Yours ever, Rod Banks W.A.Rowbotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. | ||
