KUALA LUMPUR'S TELNO 421 TO YOU: UK/MALAYSIA AIR SERVICES

WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE UK/MALAYSIA AIR SERVICE NEGOTIATIONS SHOULD BE DISTORTED IN THE MANNER SUGGESTED.

2. HONG KONG'S VIEWS ON THE INDULGENCE ALREADY SHOWN TO THE MALAYSIANS OVER AIR SERVICES HAVE ALREADY BEEN EXPRESSED TO HMG.

NEVERTHELESS, IF SUCH ACTION IS CONSIDERED WE HOPE IT WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN THAT CPA HAVE BOUGHT NOTHING BUT ROLLS ROYCE ENGINED AIRCRAFT FOR SOME YEARS NOW AND BUT FOR A HANDFUL OF 707S CURRENTLY BEING SOLD OFF, OPERATE NOTHING BUT ROLLS ROYCE ENGINED AIRCRAFT.

3. THUS WE WOULD NOT WISH TO SEE ANY CONCESSIONS MADE AT THE EXPENSE OF EITHER CPA OR HONG KONG..

MACLEHOSE

NNNN
