1. Title: "The Second Prototype of the Westland Welkin DG562/G: A Leap Forward in Transport Aircraft Design The Second Prototype of the Westland Welkin DG562/G, captured in this striking photograph, represents a significant milestone in the development of transport aircraft. Designed and manufactured by the renowned British aircraft company, Westland Aircraft, this aircraft was a groundbreaking innovation in its time. The DG562/G was the second prototype of the Welkin series, which was intended to be a versatile and advanced transport aircraft. With a sleek and aerodynamic design, the Welkin was expected to offer improved performance, range, and payload capacity compared to its predecessors. This particular prototype, registered as G-AJXN, was first flown on 22nd October 1956, piloted by test pilot, Eric Brown. The aircraft in the image is seen taxing on the runway, its wings glistening in the sunlight and its engines roaring in the background. The advanced design features of the Welkin are evident, including the swept-wing configuration, which was a departure from the conventional straight-wing design of the time. The fuselage, meanwhile, boasted a modern and streamlined appearance, reflecting the latest trends in aircraft design. The Second Prototype of the Westland Welkin DG562/G marked an important step forward in the evolution of transport aircraft, paving the way for more advanced and efficient designs. Although the Welkin did not go on to achieve commercial success, it remains an intriguing and important chapter in the history of aviation. This photograph, taken from the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era in aviation history.
