In (Xiadur Is quite obvious tor which the Government
had sanctioned b*6,ooo in tho previous budget. Such

no such truck is available in Muscat,the undersigned may
be coithorlzod to make efforte to purchase one from Baluc-

one truck at &• 2,2oo from the R. A*F. Jowoni. Before hie
departure he was willing to dispose it of on profit, but
as the truck oould not be purchased without the previous
sanction or tho Government, therefore he took It away to
Muscat* She truck Is In a quite sound condition although

repaired or replaced in Muscat on nominal cost, provided
the Wall is still willing to dispose it or, the truck
might be purchased and sent to GuadurV
