PHANTOM II - INCREASED PETROL RESERVE. --------------------------------- With reference to /FN.2/WT.12.6.30. the two level device for the rear petrol tank can not be introduced immediately, as the parts used on Phantom 1's are not suitable for Phantom 11 tanks, consequently new ones are required. We are, however, preparing new detail drawings and getting together information so that the Works can advise how quickly the modification can be introduced and the amount of scrap which will be involved.
