Re. B.G. Plugs for Holland.

Replying to your Db. {Donald Bastow - Suspensions} 9/JL.19.11.35.,
we tried out a set of B.G. plugs some time ago on a Kestrel(Aero Engine) II S engine but they have never been tried with the re-rated Kestrel(Aero Engine)s.

We suggest that they send us a set of plugs in the first instance and if they can be tested without modification it can then be decided whether to allow them to witness the tests.
