Thank you for your Sr.23/DN.9.8.34.

I can assure you that wing flapping is having our undivided attention.

I was sorry to hear that the Trials car had met with an accident, but glad that no-one was seriously hurt. I understand from G.W.H. that this had our cross member between the headlamps fitted, so that for the time being this has terminated this particular test.

I shall hope to go over to the Show, by which time we shall have made some progress.
