Armstrong Siddeley
W O remained as an engineer at Aston Martin-Lagonda for a time, then he moved to Armstrong Siddeley, where he designed another twin-overhead-cam 3-litre engine before retiring.
However it is reported that W O 's team's, it included Donald Bastow, responsibilities for the Sapphire project which also extended to the chassis, ceased in 1949 and as it eventuated they provided not a lot more than the detailed inspiration for the production version of the Sapphire announced in October 1952. The production cost of W O 's exact engine design was considered to be too high. Nevertheless W O 's involvement maintained the considerable respect of contemporary engine designers and manufacturers for him and the final Sapphire product.
