HsG/L.G14.6.22. G-GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11. We attach a report we have received from Ry. ref. Ry/10.6.22 re. the above car. Now that the Works are starting up again, we propose having G-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 returned to the Works in about a weeks time. By the time the car reaches Derby, it should have completed a total of 14,000 to 15,000 miles since it was built. We hope to have G-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 complete in two or three weeks time with all the modified parts fitted. There will still be left in France - 7-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
