If advantage is taken of this facility for inspection there should be no risk of these fins occurring in future. Taking this failure by and large, we do not think it calls for any major modification, but in effect we are only reverting to the original instructions which follow Bentley practice. As it is necessary to go ahead with production we are making these changes on to the Works instructions in parallel. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
