Sir Henry Segrave had become technical
advisor to the Aircraft Investment Corporation Ltd. in 1929, a powerful financial group that had an interest in Saunders-Roe
Ltd. and Blackburn Consolidated Ltd. Capacity constraints at Cowes led the Aircraft Investment Corporation to transfer manufacture
of the production version to Blackburn as the Meteor II. Redesigned by Blackburn, it took on the Blackburn Type Designation
C.A.18 and was renamed the Segrave.
I-ARNC sometimes quoted as I-ABNC, probably in error.
