Wilks will be going to Hillingdon after lunch on Friday and has booked seats on the 'plane which leaves Glasgow at about 5 p.m. Owing to difficulties with regard to the Air Service on Sundays he recommends that you catch the Monday evening 'plane, which will get you to Glasgow in time to catch the night-train.
