Title
Memo from Mr Saxton to Mr Chapman Armstrong Siddeley Motors: Python-Wyvern
Date
7 October 1949
Description

I have discussed with Admiral MacKintosh the present position of the Python-Wyvern and advised him that the main purpose of my visit was to ask his assistance in making an arrangement whereby a small number of machines, preferably necessitating ten engines, could be accepted in order to obtain initial service experience, pending the development of devices designed to meet the criticisms arising from the assessment of the deck landing properties at Boscombe
