| 1091 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}22/ML. 25.8.40. Spencer Wilks,Esq., Managing Director, Rover Motors Ltd., New Meteor Works, COVENTRY. Dear Wilks, Confirming our telephone conversation, we shall expect to see you at Hillingdon on Friday afternoon after lunch. Naturally, we shall be delighted to see you for lunch if you can make it. We understand that you have booked seats for us on the 'plane leaving Glasgow somewhere about 5 p.m. In view of the fact that the Air Service does not function on Sundays, Mr Hives has agreed to cancel some of his commitments and fly back to catch the night-train on Monday. He is extremely grateful to you for all the trouble you have taken and is looking forward with zest to a week-end out of the reach of the Beaver. Yours sincerely, | ||
