(2) this would be quite capable of carrying a small wind area body at the 100 kilos per hour desired; - of course, not up against a head wind, but on a tolerably still day. The speed could easily be obtained at Brooklands, and I think when you return we might arrange for such a test to be made. We are roughly constructing a small area 4-seater body (packing case quality) to try for comfort. R | ||
