Vickers Aviation Limited to complete our tests in the Wind Tunnel on Monday or Tuesday next. The general idea is to test the narrowest body which we have had made on the lines which you suggested. We have two types of wings to try and two radiators. From the enclosed schedule of tests you will see that we propose to eliminate the question of the radiator as early on as possible. Encl.
