EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Armstrong Whitworth A.W.41 Albemarle ST Mk.V, specifically the aircraft with the registration number V1823. The Albemarle was a versatile transport and special duty aircraft, primarily used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II. This particular variant, the ST Mk.V, was designed for special transport duties, including the deployment of paratroops. The image reveals the unique features of the Albemarle that catered to its specialized role. Large side doors are visible, which allowed paratroops to load easily. The presence of guard rails around the tail unit is a clear indication of the para-drop door located in the floor. These rails were installed to prevent parachute static lines from fouling the tail unit during paratroop exits. The Albemarle's design was instrumental in supporting the RAF's tactical operations, enabling the rapid deployment of troops and supplies behind enemy lines. Its versatility extended beyond paratroop transport, as it was also used for various other roles such as glider towing, casualty evacuation, and even as a maritime patrol aircraft. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of the Albemarle, a crucial aircraft in the RAF's arsenal during World War II, and a testament to the innovative engineering solutions that enabled the Allies to gain the upper hand in the battlefield.
