Dear Mr Swine,

You and your colleagues have been good enough to keep George Rogers on the civil aviation side and myself in Air Division in touch with the progress of Cathay Pacific's consideration of the alternative means of meeting their requirements for wide-bodied aircraft. discussion on various occasions over recent weeks Sir Peter Thornton, George Rogers and I have mentioned the importance of this decision not only in relation to the size of Cathay's ultimate order, but also because of the influence it would be bound to have on potential sales to a number of other airlines in the Far East. We have explained how much the British Government has committed to Rolls Royce (1971) Ltd and the RB211 which powers the Lockheed Tristar and have discussed the potential size of the exports which Rolls Royce consider might follow if you order the Tristar.
As you know, it is our hope that the Cathay Pacific Board will take all relevant factors fully into account when considering their decision.
Yours sincerely
