Don't think the J41 was built until production was moved to Prestwick so they would have been the Astazou engined ones. Sywell was a strange choice being all grass at that time; Cranfield would have been a better choice.
Didn't somebody set up a 'production line' at Radlett for Grumman AA1s when HP folded?
