| Launching winch! 2008 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/ML. 8.12.40. Wing Commander Buxton, Central Landing Establishment, R.A.F. Ringway, Nr. Manchester. Dear Buxton, Thank you for your letter of the 4th. December. It is quite correct that the Winch is owned by the Derbyshire and Lancashire Gliding Club. We have decided not to put in a charge for the work we did on the Winch. I have heard nothing further about a design for a big winch, so gather the matter is in abeyance. Yours sincerely, | ||
