no reason that I can thank of.

Well thats enough for now. I'm rather tired and full of bromide, and I can explain anything you want to know later.

By the bye - the Triplex glass saved us all. Butler would have been cut to pieces with ordinary glass - and Briggs and self almost as badly.

The windscreen in front of me was shivered into thousands of lieces - and ordinary glass would have been fatal.

Yours ever
