Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG4.12.22. MAYTHORN SALOON. Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Evl/M29.11.22. X3730 We would like to point out that arrangements were made a long time ago for Maythorns to correct the seats and wind-screen of this body. The reason it has not been done is because the car has been continuously employed on urgent experimental work. As it happens, 7-Goshawk-11 has been the only modern Goshawk car available for experimental work for some considerable time. As soon as ever we can spare this car, it will be sent to Maythorns.
