HsG/L.G14.6.22.

G-GOSHAWK-11.

We attach a report we have received from Ry.

ref. Ry/10.6.22 re. the above car.

Now that the Works are starting up again, we propose
having G-Goshawk-11 returned to the Works in about a weeks
time. By the time the car reaches Derby, it should have
completed a total of 14,000 to 15,000 miles since it was built.

We hope to have G-Goshawk-11 complete in two or
three weeks time with all the modified parts fitted.

There will still be left in France - 7-Goshawk-11.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
