Wing Commander Buxton, Development Unit, C.L.E., Royal Air Force, Ringway, MANCHESTER. Dear Buxton, GLIDER LAUNCHING WINCH. Thank you for your letter of the 7th. December. I am rather mystified about your remarks anent the fact that we shall want to get hold of a trailer right away, since we have had no official information at all that we are to go ahead with the design of a more powerful winch. Where do you think the official request has got to, and can you chase it up? Yours sincerely, | ||
