Dear Clutterbuck,

Many thanks for yours of 9th October about aircraft over Hong Kong. The regulations seem to cover all contingencies; if a bomb were dropped, the warning signal would presumably be dispensed with.

Would you let us know whether the regulations contemplated have in fact been made, and send me another copy for our legal branch.

Incidentally the D.H.9a aeroplanes used by Cantonese would almost certainly crash if attempt ing to land at the only ground available an extra inducement to stay away.

Yours sincerely,

A. chutterbuck Esq., M.C.,
