| S/W To C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3730 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG2.12.21. BODIES FOR GOSHAWK 11. CHASSIS. X3730 X180 We should like you to consider whether, in view of the instructions from BJ. and CJ., that Goshawk 11. must be kept secret, that the bodies for Goshawk 11 could be fitted at Derby. Would it be practicable to fit the all-weather body at Derby or the limousine? Would it be practicable if the makers sent one of their men up here to fit it on? If it is absolutely necessary that the chassis must go to the Coachbuilders, can we make satisfactory arrangements that it will be kept out of sight. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
