Thank you very much lor your letter of February 3rd,
I aei afraid that; not being wall versed in the
tecimioalitieB of piio to^T.-ipiiy I was wrong -when I said
wo would, do the photogrupha to a scale of l!850,000,
On diucu^oing this «lth the Air Staff Photographic Officer
I find that the actual scale will be between 1:20,000 and
Is24,000, or approxiiaately g,000 feet to the inch, which
you say in your letter will be satisfactory.
We are issuing instructions to oir squadron at
Shaibsh to carry out thia work as soon as the weather
conditions are suitable, that is, probably at the end
of this month or the beginning of next,
I do not tnink that my original estimate for this
work, ■mich was approximately >100, will be exceeded
although, of course^ I cannot . ; ,ivo you a definite figure
until the work has been carried out. However, I am sure
it will be round about 0100,
I hope these arrangements will prove satisfactory
and also that you don't mind waiting for the photographs
until, say, April or thereabouts.
May I please have a reply by return of Air Mail?
T hfcve sent a copy of this letter to Colonel Loch.
Yours sincerely.
