| To Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} (N.) from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 262 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/ST.22.7.41. E.R. HALL Phantom III Engine and Wraith Engine With reference to Br.1/H.19.7.41, we actually have customers for both the Phantom III and the Wraith engines which we sold to E.R. Hall. The engines were sold to Mr. Hall at a very low price. Actually the Phantom III was £300 plus cost of instrument board and the Wraith £100. Last time Mr. Lappin contacted Mr. Hall, he wanted £400 for the Phantom III engine. I cannot see why Mr. Hall should make a profit out of our generosity and, at the moment, we are not prepared to do more than buy back the engine from him for the price which he originally paid.
