We have however, arranged for the instrument board to have an aperture cut in it to suit the radio control. To fill this up, will you please order from Wilmot-Breeden, of Birmingham, two Ash Trays of a suitable shape to replace the Ferranti Radio Control Panel. These Ash Trays are already in production and there should be no difficulty in obtaining them. BY/RD. | ||
