| 1369 DODD TO. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} EVI/14.12.33. COPY TO HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Dodd. FRONT WINGS. I.B.3. By a special arrangement with the wing makers, Messrs Park Ward & Co. Ltd., are hopeful of being able to send the front wings for I.B.3. to you on the 12.25.p.m. train on Saturday next. They would very much like to cut them in and mount them themselves and we are inclined to agree with them. They suggest that they should send up their mounter on the train with the wings on Saturday, provided that it can be arranged that he can work the whole of the weekend. The wings will then be ready for filling and painting on Monday morning. We suggest that you get Messrs Sanderson & Holmes to do this, but Messrs Park Ward will bring up the paint that will be necessary. Will you please arrange for HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Dodd. to let me know on the 3pm. call, tomorrow whether you agree to this programme. EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
