Re/WJH.10/ET.

23rd October, 1940.

The Secretary,
The Derbyshire & Lancashire
Gliding Club,
Camphill,
GREAT HUCKLOW, Derbyshire.

Dear Sir,

Further to our letter of the 18th instant, in which we promised to return your winch or winches in a condition equal to that in which they were borrowed, we agree that this is misleading, as it is understood that they will be in good running condition.

We give below a list of loose parts removed with the Thornycroft-Ford winch:-

1 Large Bottle Jack.
1 Spare Propellor shaft flexible coupling disc.
1 Wheel nut brace.
4 Spare sparking plugs for Ford engine.
1 Starting handle for Ford engine.

Yours faithfully,
