| To EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} from BJ. BJ3/Hll.4.22. Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II. Re 10,000 Miles Trials Cars. EP {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 4/LG7.4.22. With reference to your note to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} (EP {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} /LG7.4.22), will you please let us know when you can provide the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) for the amateur test? Perhaps it will be easiest and quickest for you to provide the 5-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-II (the express car) as soon as possible it has finished its express run; even though it may be necessary to take this car down to examine it the examination should not take very long and it could soon be put on the road again for the amateur test.
