Letter from Ralph Martin to Patrick Judge, 4 July 1974

4th July, 1974

Dear Mr. Judge,

Thank you for your letter of 18th June.

I was not really surprised to hear from you as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation had been in touch with me regarding the pieces of metal which you found many years ago.

Whilst I wish to assist you as much as I am able I fear that I cannot obtain any information whether the plane was called a Blue Bird or a White Bird. All that I am able to say is that I remember you givin me a piece of metal when we were staying on your land with Mr. & Mrs. Peters way back in 1947.

This piece of metal was given by me to the Avro Aircraft people, a firm which is now a part of a large organisation called, I think, the Hawker Siddley Aircraft Corporation (I am not sure whether this is the correct name as I do not have interest in the manufacture of aircraft) and I understand that they wrote direct to you on their investigation. I did not have any copy of that the letter.

However, I understand that the Manufacturers concerned have had a fire since writing to you and I believe that the correspondence in question was destroyed.

All that I can therefore confirm is that you handed me a piece of metal which was delivered as I have stated and I thought the reply had been sent to and received by you.

Hope this may be of some assistance.

It was very nice to hear from you and to know you were all well.

Mrs. Martin & I so well remember the very happy times we spent in Newfoundland, and the camping holiday we spent in your part of the country was one of the highlights.

We hope you are keeping well, your children will now have grown up.

Kind regards

Yours sincerely,

Ralph Martin
