Dear Hall

I am doubtful whether we shall be ready for that Brooklands test on Friday.
I want to avoid having two or three goes on the track as it is not kind to the car.
It is quite clear that owing to the works holiday I shall not have the final inspection pipe by Friday. Also I do not see that Offords can possibly get the new rear wings up here in time for them to be fitted properly.
The Repair Department cannot be expected to work at the rate we did
