re Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) Improved Ground Clearance.

We send you herewith drawing:-
LeC.4147 showing the modified crossmember which is now less deep owing to the propeller shaft being restricted in this movement. The silencer is being raised and this modifies the suspension link.

If it is possible we should like this fitted to No.2. chassis.
