X4199 To EFC: Copies to: Ep.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} CWB2GD16.2.29. Re: Chassis 1-AL. The attached is the copy of a report from MK regarding an accident which led to a fire. The circumstances are certainly peculiar, and it does not seem right that it should be possible to ignite the petrol fumes when merely working round the engine. I should like to have your views on the whole matter, and in particular, do you think it advisable to approach Messrs. Klaxon with a view to persuading them to cover the two live studs referred to?
