[Body]
Referring to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 2/LG9.6.20., we have no objection in the works to do without a liner, but EP {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} , was very strong on fitting liners, as it enables engines to be readily changed as far as compression is concerned.

I think it should be discussed fully with Hm {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} and EP {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} , before making a change.
