Dear Mr Raine    
     
Thankyou for your letter of 6th May.

You are right, the cost of hiring the Fokker is indeed prohibitive. Flying by scheduled as opposed to chartered aeroplane doesn't really make much difference to the wine-lovers and me. However the New Mills Royal Air Force Veterans and Sons of Veterans are very disappointed, as they were really looking forward to the experience --names like Fokker and Messerschmitt being far more evocative to their ears than Boeing and Airbus.

They also feel that had we chartered the Fokker we would have had more control over your intended flight path, and that those ex-RAF men wishing to parachute into Germany would have been able to come down in your country more or less exactly where they wanted to, whereas if we travel on one of your scheduled flights they may have to parachute out of your door some distance from where they actually wish to land.

I have now instructed out travel agent to book the seats with Lufthansa and I thank you for all your help.

Yours sincerely

T Ravenscroft (Mr)
