| To C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X.3730 x180 X3730 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}8/LG7.7.21. BODY FOR GOSHAWK II CHASSIS. We would certainly prefer that the first experimental Goshawk chassis was mounted at Derby. We shall not possibly be able to spare the chassis for any length of time and if it is done here, it can be done at our convenience. We should like your advice of the best way of getting this body to Derby. Would it be safe to put it on the rail? or if not, we might arrange to send Goshawk I chassis down and bring it back on that. We should also like to know whether the body includes mudguards, running-boards, windscreen and hood. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
