No. UK’s GAAP originated in 1944 as anti-kamikaze. As we digested our share of German kit we set up RAE’s Rocket Propulsion Establishment at Westcott. At the Naval Staff Target’s first Project Review January,47 it was given “the highest priority”; RAE tried hard to get it and the entire (to be) GW sector treated as Ordnance – nationalised in R&D and production. RAE’s Morien Morgan advised Ministers not to do such a thing, thus re-run 1920s’ Airships issue. He set about trying to find aeronauts to take an interest. MoS Spec. was issued 3/48 as potential Tri-Service Red Heathen for airfield base and Unit field defence. After much coercion of disinterested Aero industry, in March,49 AWA was given the RN SAM development contract (to be Seaslug I), EE/Luton, the Army’s Unit mobile SAM (to be Thunderbird I) and in April, Bristol, the Army’s airfield fixed SAM (to be RAF Regt.’s Bloodhound I). (Mostly from S.R.Twigge, Early Devt.of GW in UK,Harwood,’93) The industrial risk, of different propulsion/guidance solutions, was spread, in part conforming to MoS’ then-standard presumption that some/most/all UK initiatives would fail.
