Dear Martin,
Martin Jizim 1575
There has been some delay in answering your letter of the 21st March about the testing of American U.H.F. and I.F.F. equipment, because I have been waiting for an opportunity to discuss this with the Commander-in-Chief, Far East Station.
I have now had a
2.
chance of speaking to Admiral Scott-Moncrieff about this and he has told me that the testing will be done out at sea with United States carrier aircraft and two frigates of the Royal Navy.
I have no objection to this method of testing the equipment.
Yours ever,
Manan
Sir John Martin, K. C.M.G., C.B.,
C.V.O.,
Assistant Under-Secretary of State, Far Eastern Department,
Colonial Office,
LONDON.
