Capt. Burt, who was in some ways instrumental in the origination of this design, would like to have permission to buy one of these framed patches of instruments for fitting to his New PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I. We have ascertained from HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} that we could supply him with the same, but as this is a part which is not standard equipment we have referred the matter to you.
