According to a Ministry of Aviation report, the SC.1 was determined to have been an effective research vehicle when operated within the limits imposed by its small size and restricted capacity; however it was found that a larger aircraft would be necessary for more extensive tests of the instruments and guidance equipment.
A Ministry of Aviation study revealed that the SC.1 performed well as a testbed when operated within its size and weight limitations and operational constraints, but it became clear that a bigger plane would be required to conduct more thorough evaluations of the equipment being tested.
