Further investigation determined that the starboard leading edge wing spars were also damaged and required replacing. From 1934 to 1936, experiments by the Naval Research Laboratory, NRL, were being carried out by Robert M. Page. Establish Scientific Development Squadron ONE (VXS-1) and Scientific Development Squadron ONE Support Activity effective immediately. Completion of these in-depth repairs required long hours of involved and difficult maintenance practices on parts of the aircraft that were in secure and concealed areas. These large, four-engine aircraft provided the range and endurance to meet research and development requirements. Current action recognizes the increasing complexity, operations tempo and worldwide deployments of the detachment and re-designates it as a stand alone shore activity, similar to training squadrons, designated as Scientific Development Squadron ONE (VXS-1). "Our outstanding record is largely due to the intense pride and dedicated professionalism of our people," Munns said. In 1917 a Royal Naval Laboratory was established in South Kensington, London, England under the supervision of Sir Dugald Clerk as its director its name was later changed to the Admiralty Engineering Laboratory.
