GOSHAWK 11. REAR WINGS X.3730. We send herewith N.sch.1265 shewing the revised rear wings for Goshawk 11. open touring body. The object of sending this drawing is that the wing stays may be altered to suit this new shape of wing. Presumably also details of the wings will be made in case they are required. It will be noticed that we have asked for a single radius on the top part of the wing stay instead of the double radius hitherto shewn on the coachbuilders drawing. The shape of the wing where it joins up with the body is in accordance with what we understand is the latest requirements, and we have endea- voured to project the shape of the wheel arch as closely as poss- ible. It will be understood that though it is probable the wings on a closed body would be different to the wings shewn here in order to suit the different shape of body the wing stays might be the same.
