Dear Miss Nellie and L-M Race Authorities

We hope you receive this note smuggled out of the Barracks at Z13T airfield, Allahabad.

ZS-GPL mistook the Z13T airfield for VIAL on landing yesterday, again in low visibility fog/smog. It appears the military in charge of this airfield have installed a secret weapon (probably electro-magnetic?) that "detains" planes landing without authorisation (The Royal Air Force may be interested in investigating). Our attempt to escape this "field" was captured on film, also smuggled out for investigators as evidence.

Our attempt at escape could hardly go unnoticed, and led to the entire crew being detained and consigned to the airfield barracks. We hope the race authorities will be able to intervene on our behalf, and some solution / decision / judgment acceptable to all can be reached to allow this team to continue onwards.

Sincerely
Capt. Rob
