| Copy "Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" RESERVE X4117 Ps2/IL.23.I.28 re: Phantom complaints In reply to your EPS/H20.1.28. We have had several complaints of thuds, as our quarterly reports on complaints to "Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}" will inform you. I know of no complaint of noisy exhaust as far as the engine is concerned, or more correctly the standpipe, which gives the exhaust a tingy sound. I do not doubt that this is a very difficult feature to quieten. "Ps". | ||
