Dear Wing Commander Cheshire,

I have just heard from Mr. Mason, our Service representative, that your Squadron has just received two Mk. XVI Mosquitoes, and that he has supplied you with some ground equipment, handling notes etc. Should there be any other information you require, I do hope you will come down to Hatfield where you can see Mosquitoes in full scale production.

Yours sincerely,

pp. P. J. de Havilland
