'F' TYPE ENGINE - M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} S/S. TYPE TEST. --------------------------------------- With reference to BY/Cgh{W Clough}1/G.5.3.29. although the Air Ministry have specially requested that we should fit the Watford magnetos on one of the two type test engines going through the Works, and the procedure was agreed to by the Experimental Department, apparently the latter now for some reason or other do not agree, therefore the memo in question should be cancelled.
