This vintage aircraft, manufactured by the Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Company, is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation that characterized the early days of flight. The FK3 was a biplane designed primarily for military use, featuring a wooden fuselage and two pusher propellers. Its distinctive appearance, with the wings positioned behind the engine, was a common design for biplanes of the era. The FK3 was powered by a Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII liquid-cooled V12 engine, capable of generating an impressive 450 horsepower. B9572, specifically, was delivered to the Royal Flying Corps in 1918, towards the end of World War I. It served as a trainer aircraft, helping to prepare pilots for combat missions.
