| To Dor.{Mr Dorey} Hucknall, from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/ST.20.5.41. I am sending you herewith the drawings of the installation of the 40 mm. gun in the Beaufighter. All the mounting parts necessary for this installation are being made. I have wired to Bristol's for two panels for modification and you should have a drawing from Bristol's showing how to cut the hull member, almost immediately. Why they have taken so long sending us this drawing, I do not know, as we have both wired and telephoned for it. Please contact Draper at Clan Foundry if you want any further information.
