We find a cutout very desirable in France, and recommend we fit this when we have got it right. I am much pleased with the one on 5.G.11. but some improvement and experience is necessary.

A low note horn is very desirable here in addition to the klaxon, which I understand is illegal in the town. 5.Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. has no horn.
