Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ~~BP.~~ ~~c Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}~~ ~~o.{Mr Oldham} C/Com.~~ Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} D/BP/Y5/MH.{M. Huckerby}28.10.35. Re: Imperial Airways Ltd. In accordance with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/AP.22.10.35 we asked the Imperial Airways Ltd. if they could give us the usual discount on Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}'s ticket. Our request has been refused, as unless the rebate is applied for at the time of booking, it cannot be allowed retrospectively. If, therefore, any of our Staff travel by air in future, it would be advisable for them to make it quite clear that they are Representatives of the Company, so as to guarantee the rebate being allowed to us. On the other hand, bulk travel conditions apply to Imperial Airways Ltd., and vouchers can be obtained from the Cashier in the ordinary way. D/MH{M. Huckerby} | ||
