Griffith's advanced axial-flow turbojet engine designs, were integral in the creation of Britain's first operational axial-flow turbojet engine, the Metropolitan-Vickers F.2 which first ran successfully in 1941. Griffith however had little direct involvement in actually producing the engine, after he moved from leading the engine department at Metropolitan-Vickers in 1939, to start working at Rolls Royce in-order to produce their own axial-flow turbojet engines, like the successful Rolls-Royce Avon."@en }
