X.4081 - GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) SWITCHBOX. X4067

With reference to your telephone enquiry as to whether anything has been done to enable the instrument light switch on the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) to be left permanently on, I do not know of this having been taken up with W.W., but note from the minutes of the Conference at Derby that it was agreed that Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} should raise the point, and possibly he is doing this during his visit to R. {Sir Henry Royce}

I am, however, communicating with him and with West Wittering(Henry Royce's home town) in case he overlooks this.
