Replying to your Db.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}9/JL.19.11.35., we tried out a set of B.G. plugs some time ago on a Kestrel II S engine but they have never been tried with the re-rated Kestrels. We suggest that they send us a set of plugs in the first instance and if they can be tested without modification it can then be decided whether to allow them to witness the tests.
