British interest in armed drones during the Second World War

What was the thinking behind American Second World War armed drones controlled by a following Avenger, and did Britain reject the idea?

Britain regarded the idea as interesting and continued Queen Bee development, with ship-launched offensive applications raised as a possibility.

American armed drones controlled from a following Avenger are compared with British Queen Bee development. Britain regarded the idea as interesting and continued work on its own drones. A ship such as HMS Argus could, in the proposed offensive role, have launched uncrewed attacks. The example concerns a possible development of carrier aviation, rather than an operational British strike system.
