Scrapping Peregrine Chassis.

The Administration have agreed that the Peregrine cars shall now be scrapped. We understand that you are in a position to undertake the work.

Will you please arrange for the body to be taken off 4-P-II first, as Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has allotted it to a chassis now at Park Wards. We will arrange for its despatch as soon as it is available.

Of the other cars, will you please remove everything and scrap everything except the chassis 5-P-II which should be left intact and handed over to us as spares of the various Peregrine parts we are running experimentally.

Will you also hand over to us the unit out of 3-P-II, Registration No. RC.{R. Childs}990.

All the Peregrine bodies will be disposed of as soon as possible.

The Order No. for this job is 54000.
