A newspaper clipping from 1985 featuring a letter to the editor from Phil Kelly, a former Laker Airways flight engineer. The letter defends Sir Freddie Laker's business practices, arguing that Laker Airways' collapse was due to lack of passengers and currency issues rather than unfair competition, and calls for awaiting the outcome of US litigation before making judgments.
