| Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} c. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 200a Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 10/AP.1.5.37. 6.B.IV. We have to report an accident to 6.B.IV. during its 15,000 miles test in France. The car skidded off the road into a ditch. Hancock has telephoned us that no one was hurt. The car is too damaged to do further mileage, but will return under its own power to England in about a week's time. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} | ||
