Lidsey} and inspect the batteries, it was not possible to take out the battery complete, without dropping the the battery box, which must be avoided. We understand that if the body is made to the correct drawings, it should be possible for the batteries to be taken out and fixed into the battery box by simply lifting up the floorboards only. We trust this will be made right for 6-Goshawk-II. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
