*GOSHAWK 11* X4219

General running.

We have run this engine now about 25 to 30 hours and have carried out a number of tests. This first impression of the engine is very pleasing. The valve operating mechanism is very good for silence. The engine allround is a very great advance on Goshawk 1.

Horse Power Tests.
