Dear Mr. Robotham

About the Derbyshire and Lancashire Ford V 8 - Thornycroft Launching winch, the R.A.F. have been asked to buy it. From your letter I took it to be owned by the Derbyshire and Lancashire club and so have given them as the owners.

2. Will you invoice to this unit the work that you had to do on it and I propose to settle it on a Local Purchase Order.

Yours sincerely

Mungo Buxton

for Grp Capt

W.A. Robotham, Esq.,
Rolls Royce, Ltd.,
Derby.
