Hi Stig,

Thanks for that.

I recently bought the main Air Britain book on production of Austers, but my question arises from the fact that it didn't give details of when specification or contract 38627/39 was actually issued, or whether it was an open competitive exercise for which other companies submitted designs.

I would also like to know whether 38627/39 was a pre-war specification or a response to the outbreak of war.

Many thanks,

Sid.
