EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Armstrong Whitworth AW.55 Apollo VX224 (registration number G-AMCH), a remarkable aircraft that graced the skies of Farnborough for a brief yet eventful period in 1954. The Apollo, a product of the renowned British aircraft manufacturing company, Armstrong Whitworth, was temporarily stationed at the Empire Test Pilot School (ETPS) during its nine-month tenure. The AW.55 Apollo, a versatile twin-engine research and development aircraft, was designed to meet the demands of various research and test programs. However, during the ETPS's stewardship, it was beset by persistent issues with its Armstrong Siddeley Mamba turboprop engines. Consequently, the Apollo managed to log only 20 hours of flight time before being relieved of its duties. Despite the challenges, the AW.55 Apollo left an indelible mark on the aviation community during its brief stay at Farnborough. The aircraft's sleek design, innovative features, and the promise of untapped potential captured the imagination of test pilots and engineers alike. Though its tenure at the ETPS was short-lived, the Apollo's legacy continued to inspire future generations of aviation pioneers. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the Armstrong Whitworth AW.55 Apollo VX224's time at the Empire Test Pilot School, a testament to the enduring allure of aviation history and the relentless pursuit of innovation.
