1.

I SEE THAT MR GOODLAD WILL BE TRANSITING HONG KONG FOR ABOUT ONE AND A HALF HOURS ON THE EVENING OF 25 JUNE. NORMALLY I WOULD HAVE GONE TO THE AIRPORT AND TAKEN THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A BRIEF CHAT. HOWEVER, THAT EVENING I AM ALREADY COMMITTED TO A FORMAL FAREWELL DINNER WITH THE GAZETTED OFFICERS OF THE ROYAL HONG KONG POLICE FORCE. I HOPE THAT MR GOODLAD WILL UNDERSTAND IF IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES I AM NOT AT THE AIRPORT TO GREET HIM.

2.

WOULD MR GOODLAD FIND IT USEFUL TO SEE ANYONE ELSE DURING HIS BRIEF STOPOVER, E.G. CS OR PA QUERY.
