| To Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3. c.5 re Aircraft Armament. We have much pleasure in returning herewith the print by the Hawker Aircraft Co. showing guns mounted in the Hurricane wing which you kindly lent to us a short while ago. We are now in a position to go ahead with the mounting of the R.R. 1" gun in the Spitfire and Hurricane having completed arrangement/drawings of the wings. We would be very glad therefore, if we could have a arrangement drawing of the R.R. .5 machine guns as soon as possible. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
