| 261 200a MARTINDALE File K/W. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM{Anthony F. Martindale} from K/KC. K/KC/DPB/25.1.37. Ref. your Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}6/AP.21.1.37. REPLACEMENTS FOR 6.B.IV. We are returning to you under cover of our advice note No.121, marked for your attention, the damaged front drum removed from EH/Lt.Staniland's car. Regarding the replacement drums for B.56.BN{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}, these have not arrived yet at K.{Mr Kilner} I have telephoned Park Ward and have ascertained from them that the car will not be ready for the Spray Shop for another three days, so we could in an emergency, remove the drums from B.56.BN{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} without inconveniencing them if you think this is necessary. However, I expect by the time you receive this memo, the drums will have arrived. K/[signature] | ||
