| W/S. To Bs.{A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/Sd. c. D/BP. 1042. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/MH.{M. Huckerby}8.2.40. 25.G.VI - ex EXPERIMENTAL DEPT. 25.G.VI was the least standard of all our experimental Wraith cars. Its experimental features extended even to the frame, which was of a light gauge not being used on any other car. We consider that it would be quite impossible to rebuild this car as a standard Wraith for a reasonable figure. We recommend that 28.G. should be sold and 25.G. take its place with the Aero Service Department. These cars are almost identical with regard to body, but 28.G. is a reasonably standard chassis.
