And its been on my hard drive for 5 years. A fun file, VCNS proposing an approach to Thornycroft to convince him to let the Navy drop the P.1154 and pursue the Vickers Type 583 (thus confirming support for the 583 went right to the top of the Navy, not being confined to Naval Air Division) just as Thornycroft was considering merging the Navy and RAF P.1154s into a single aircraft and a statement that the Type 584 was the best technical solution to NBMR.3 but was rejected because it would take longer to deliver.On the CF.299 Mk.2 proposals, it should be noted that the stretched 75nm range version would have required different handling gear. Diagrams of the CF.299 magazine at this time show a sub 14ft missile stowed in a magazine space that is 16ft 8" high, notably the longitudanal rail supports elevate the missile significantly above the magazine floor suggesting there was space available to adapt the system for a longer missile with some redesign.
