EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the front view of an Armstrong Whitworth FK10 aircraft, meticulously captured while it was stationed on the ground. The Armstrong Whitworth FK10, also known as the "Flying Labour Exchange," was a biplane designed and manufactured by the Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Company in the United Kingdom during the early 1930s. This aircraft was a significant milestone in aviation history as it was one of the first to be designed specifically for the air transport of passengers and cargo. The FK10 was a versatile machine, capable of carrying up to eight passengers or a payload of 1,500 pounds. Its distinctive design featured a biplane configuration with wooden wings and a fabric-covered fuselage. The aircraft's powerful Rolls-Royce Condor engine, located in the nose, delivered an impressive cruising speed of 120 miles per hour. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the early days of aviation when the possibilities seemed endless. The Armstrong Whitworth FK10 represented a new era in air travel, paving the way for more advanced and sophisticated aircraft to come. Today, this historic aircraft remains an important part of aviation history, a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of those who dared to take to the skies.
