SECRET. 2006 19th February, 1941. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LT. Wing Commander BUXTON, Central Landing Establishment, Royal Air Force, Ringway Aerodrome, near MANCHESTER. Dear Buxton, We are making a real effort on the winch and have six of our Design Section working at it. It is a bigger job than I thought and will take about six weeks. How we shall get it made I do not know. I would like you to come down and have a look at the drawings in about a month's time. Yours sincerely, | ||
