We do not consider it would do much good to write to OY. and ask him to deal with this matter as quickly as possible. I am sure they must be pushing this matter as rapidly as possible in order to fulfil their own programme. We have the drawings of the modification - if the Administration agree that this job can be done at Derby, we are sure we could get it through quicker than waiting the receipt of parts from America.
