11th. March, 1947.

F.T. Hornaby, Esq.,
Marshalls’ Flying School Ltd.,
The Aerodrome,
Cambridge.

My dear Hornaby,

Just to confirm our telephone conversation that April 21st. will suit me as a starting date.

I am reorganising the construction of V.I.P. next week with Colonel Kirkpatrick, the Lawyers and the Accountants, and think I had better hold over the question of cards until then.

I did not know Whitney Straight was interested in the Mosquito, and I haven’t any idea what price Dundas are asking. I left it to them and gave them no figure.

With all best wishes

Yours very sincerely,

GC/MT
