OVERHEATING - PHANTOM 11.

Replying to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}3/E4.9.30.

The tests which are at present being carried out on Phantom 11 for over-heating include investigation to find out what possible gain we can obtain by reducing the undershields or modifying them.

We hope to be able to issue a full report in the course of the next few days.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
