| 1128. Vosper Ltd ANTONY HOUSE, TORPOINT, CORNWALL. Portsmouth. Dear Rawbotham, Thanks for looking after me the other day. I really think the 8 cyl. proposition might be very interesting. Hope you will let me know whether you are prepared to let us have two petrol engines to put in a hull which we have already built which would be a very good demonstration for R.A.F. or Imperial airways & also naturally foreign business. Hope you will be able to let me know fairly soon for the reason I think you know. Yrs sin'ly Peter Du Cane. | ||
