W/O. L. Pickford,
Sergeants’ Mess,
R.A.F., Yatesbury,
Calne, Wilts.

Dear W/O. Pickford,

Very many thanks for your letter of the 13th inst. I am afraid the original must have gone astray, as I can find no trace of it.

However, the details supplied have enabled you to be elected a life member of the Club, and your badge is enclosed herewith.

The official membership card is being prepared, and should be ready for despatch shortly.

I was very sorry to read of the death of your Observer, but congratulate you on surviving the ordeal.

Best wishes, and good luck in the future.

Yours sincerely,

C A Robinson.

C.A. Robertson.
Hon. Secretary.

This Club has been made possible by the courtesy of P.B. Cow (Queensbury) Ltd. in appreciation of many gallant airmen.
