Title
Letter from Mr S Camm, Hawker Aircraft Ltd to Mr MN Golovine Armstrong Siddeley Motors: Sapphire satisfactory type test
Date
7 April 1952
Description

Design Department SC/CEW. Can we assume that this will be the rating for the production Sapphire in the F.3 because this will have a vital influence on performance. For the 10,000 lb engine, we propose to build a new fuselage as we have found it almost impossible to make a common fuselage for the Rolls-Royce Ra.14 and the Sapphire Sa.4
