Built as a private venture, the Wizard was intended as a fast monoplane fighter. The results achieved with the first aircraft attracted Air Ministry interest and an invitation to submit the design for Specification F 20/27, for which the original prototype Wizard l was extensively modified. The design included cockpit heating and oxygen but was eventually rejected through service prejudice against the monoplane configuration.
