| W/S C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3730 Hsl/LG27.2.22. GOSHAWK 11. X4219 X3730 We shall be sending the Goshawk chassis to London on Thursday (Mar.2nd.) We expect it to arrive in London about 11 a.m. Now that 6.EX Car has been smashed up, we are very anxious that there will be no delay in getting this Car to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence. R.{Sir Henry Royce} has said that he would like it there as soon as possible. We are relying on Hoopers finishing the car off absolutely by Monday the 6th.Mar. and we expect it to cross over on Tuesday afternoon from Folkstone. I trust that you will see that Hoopers are impressed in regard to the urgency of this job. We are hoping that they will not make any excuses but will overcome any difficulties which crop up.
