We found ourselves in a bit of a "spot" when the war started warming up. I cannot understand why the oil coolers have not yet arrived. They were definitely sent off from here on the 30th. of last month. However, our Despatch Department are making intensive enquiries and we should be able to let you know something within a day or two. Will write you again, Yours sincerely, | ||
