| BJ. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X180 R2/M27.6.28. CAR FOR HENDON AIR PAGEANT. X.180 X.7770 X.1775 I shall be very pleased to try your blue open car for the visit to the Air Pageant. I am arranging for Dodd to call for it and leave my 14-EX on Friday afternoon, and we shall return it on Sat. afternoon. I shall leave the Pageant very early in the hope of avoiding the crush. I am a little bit anxious to know whether I shall be able to change back to 14-EX on Saturday afternoon or evening. Cricklewood would be a convenient place for the changeover. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
