I have handed over all the arrangements for getting this work done to my Air Gunnery Technical Board, under Admiral Osborne. Actually W/Cdr.{W. J.

Chandler - Chief Clerk} Hopkins and asked him to let you know direct what he can do over the supply of ammunition. I have also asked him to treat this as an urgent matter. Yours sincerely, P. Huskinson. | ||
