Well thats enough now. I'm rather tired and full of bromide, and I can explain anything you want to know later.
By-the-bye - the Triplex glass saved us all. Butler would have been cut to pieces with ordinary glass - and Briggs and self almost as badly.
The windscreen in front of me was shivered into thousands of pieces - and ordinary glass would have been fatal.
Yours ever,
