| X180 To C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG5.5.28. x7770 With reference to C12/C4.5.28. It is possible we may have 12-EX car in France during the next month or so, but this is not a very suitable car for the Chairman. It is fitted with an open body with very little protection, and not very comfortable. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
