COBHAM
(Sir Alan J., 1894-1973, Aviator)
Fine Typed Letter with autograph salutation and subscription, Signed “Alan Cobham” to Cyril Wood OBE
thanking him for his “delightful letter, I am so sorry that I could not get in touch with you before... I had not a moment to spare before departing for my holiday in the South of France. I went to Monte Carlo and did nothing but lay on the beach, sunbathe, swim, eat and sleep - quite a relaxing time. Unfortunately I developed arthritis on the last two days of my holiday - luckily it has more of less departed. Regarding the Exhibition on the 1st September - I am afraid this is not going to be possible because tomorrow I fly north to Edinburgh to support the Orchestra on Saturday night and for two or three days next week. Afterwards I shall be motoring south, calling on old friends in Northumberland and Yorkshire, and will not be back in the office... so sorry that I shall miss the Exhibition...”, together with a carbon copy of Wood’s letter to Cobham, 1 side A4, Tarrant Rushton Airfield, nr Blandord, Dorset, 30th August

COBHAM
(Sir Alan J., 1894-1973, Aviator)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed in full to Sir George ROBEY
(1869-1954, Music Hall Comedian) telling. him that he has “received the cheque for £100 that you asked Mr Morgan to forward to me. I hardly know how to thank you for so great a kindness. After all that you had done, in entering the aeroplane for the Kings Cup, it was a kindness that I had never anticipated, & I thank you not only for the cheque, but your absolute true sportsmanship. I have just returned from Gothenburg in Sweden, where there has been a great International Flying exhibition & contests. I was successful in winning the traffic aeroplane contest, running between Gothenburg and Copenhagen for 5 days carrying the greatest load at teh fastest speed with the lowest fuel consumption. The prize was 15,000 crowns & a Gold Cup presented by the Crown Prince of Sweden. Incidentally, I took the Crown Prince’s two sons on their first flight accompanied by Sir Samuel Hoare & Admiral Mark Kerr. I did all this with the new type DH50 machine. In Sweden, in fact everywhere of late, I find that I am generally known to people as ‘Sir George Robey’s Pilot’ so I feel sure that the Kings Cup event ‘sunk in’. I hope it will not be the last time I shall be in your service...”, 2 sides 4to., 67a Golder’s Green Road, NW11 but on Stage Lane Aerodrome headed paper, 21st August
