| S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X.8460 CWB7/GM/20-5-26. There are certain features of the latest petrol tank for the New PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I which have not yet been inspected by Sales. In particular it is understood that the air release pipe is modified from the one fitted to 11-EX, which tank was not approved also as regards the size and finish of the petrol gauge dial. It is understood that EAC 8 has been modified in this respect and is fitted with a petrol tank it is proposed to standardise. Will you please arrange therefore that Sales have an opportunity of inspecting this tank in London at as early a date as possible. CWJ. | ||
