re Bentley V Corniche.

We believe it is appreciated that at the outbreak of hostilities the only drawing we had of the Corniche was a white print of M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Georges Paulins scale 1/16 called Etude 1.

We have had this traced and given it a number PL.271. The original is attached to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH's copy of this memo. for issue in the usual way and filing. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG. should receive a print.
