GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) X.4240.
X.4241

We have received a letter from West Wittering(Henry Royce's home town)
this morning saying that Mr. Royce particularly wanted to
try the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) limousine with the new dummy radiator and
bonnet. We are therefore arranging for it to be taken down
to him tomorrow.

As soon as he has finished with it he will send
it back to the Works.
