(2) So that I am strongly in favour of proceed- ing with the "Heron" as well as the "Seagull", in case it is desired to go on somewhat longer before we put the "Seagull" into production. This policy is necessary and favourable for fitting the front wheel brakes at an early date to the present 40/50 chassis. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
