* No. 5935/593/97 dated
the 16th December 1936.
I enclose a copy of an extract from a very confidential letter from Mr.
Jones of Hawker Aircraft to Rendel of the Eastern Department here, which
has some bearing on Mohammad Ihsan’s negotiations.
I understand that Captain Bayendor is a Persian who is negotiating with
Hawkers on behalf of his Government.
I am sending a copy of this letter to Fraser-Tytler and to Williams at
the Air Ministry.
Enclosure to Serial No. 7.
Extract from letter addressed to Foreign Office by Hawker Air
craft Limited, dated 28th November 1936.
Captain Bayendor returned from Paris this morning. He witnessed
demonstrations of French aircraft at Villacoublay.
Whilst there they had an opportunity of conversing with the gentleman
from Afghanistan. According to Bayendor this gentleman is the prospective
chief of the Afghan Air Force and he informed them that he had been to
Germany and Great Britain where he had seen several factories. After his
visit to France he was returning to this country and then hoped to go to
America to see their latest products. At the lunch at Villacoublay this
gentleman was given the seat of honour next to Mons. Pierre Cot. They
gathered that it was intended to eventually acquire a considerable Air Force
but that apparently there was financial difficulty. It was stated that the
Soviet Authorities were prepared to supply on very favourable terms but it
was not possible to obtain any idea as to whether this proposal was viewed
with favour.
