| X3730. Bs. {A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager} from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 7/LG12.8.21. X3730 X180 Referring to your memo. Bs {A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager} /6KW/10.8.21. You mention that there is a small Limousine Body built by Messrs. Hooper for the original Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) chassis. I think the Coachbuilders could say whether it is practicable to fit this to Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. We would say that it is impossible to make a good job of it. We are likely, however, we keep Exp. Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 1. running for some time. Could you let us have further particulars about this body and send a drawing of it.
