Please quote our reference: S.1. 5th June, 1936. H.E. West, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ld., DERBY. Dear Mr. West, Further to your kind invitation to Hucknall Aerodrome with our machine, I have been pursuing this matter with a view to suggesting a definite date for our visit. The 'plane is due to return to England during the next few days, but I am afraid that on arrival it will have to be docked for a while, and I would like to suggest, if quite convenient to your goodselves that we visit you on Wednesday the 24th June. Perhaps you will very kindly drop me a line in due course. Sincerely yours, Charles Wharnick Handwritten text: r6010 | ||
