EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Armstrong Whitworth AW55 Apollo, specifically the aircraft with the registration number G-AIYN and the US Navy designation VX220. The Armstrong Whitworth AW55 Apollo was a versatile transport aircraft that was developed in the late 1940s and early 1950s, with its first flight taking place in 1949. This particular aircraft is notable for its service with the Royal Air Force and the US Navy. The Armstrong Whitworth AW55 Apollo was a twin-engine, propeller-driven aircraft that was designed to meet the demands of the post-World War II era for a versatile transport plane. It was capable of carrying large payloads over long distances and could be configured for various roles, including cargo transport, passenger transport, and even medical evacuation. The aircraft's distinctive features include its high-wing design, large tailfin, and twin engines mounted on the wings. G-AIYN/VX220, as seen in this photograph, is depicted with its wings folded, giving viewers a clear view of its sleek and robust design. The aircraft's registration number, G-AIYN, indicates that it was operated by the Royal Air Force, while its US Navy designation, VX220, suggests that it also saw service with the US military. This versatile aircraft played an essential role in the post-war era, providing vital transport capabilities for both military and civilian operations. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Armstrong Whitworth AW55 Apollo, a remarkable aircraft that continues to captivate aviation enthusiasts and historians alike.
