| W/P - Sr: 41245 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/KW. 9:7.35: When is our Van Vooren body going to be ready ? We don't want to send the experimental chassis over and have it standing for two or three weeks while the body is finished off. The photographs of our trip came out remarkably well, including several at Le Mans. I am sending you one or two copies. E.R. Hall is definitely running at Ulster. If you and Farrow are going over, will you kindly let us know in good time. The race is run on Saturday the 7th September. I suggest if you are pressed for time you write Imperial Airways and find out whether they are running a machine from Croydon to Belfast on the morning of the race, as this would save you time. Also, you should write to the R.A.C. and obtain full press privileges, etc. for Farrow and yourself. Anything we can do on top of this to enable Farrow to see the race we shall of course arrange.
