AMATEUR DRIVEN GOSHAWK. X3599
[Handwritten and crossed out: X4086]

For Gauds sake correct the water pipe connection between the radiator and bottom water pipe on 7-Goshawk-ll.
I take it, however, that as you are going to run this car yourself, you will make certain of this point before you start.
We should also like you to get to know from Mr. Thomas which oil pipe it was that broke and also we should like further particulars as regards the wheel failure - did it lose the demountable portion of the rim?
