Armstrong Whitworth
Awana J6898
(c/n 14)
This image is the best I can do with the
scratchy print I received from Sir W.G. Armstrong Whitworth
Aircraft Ltd of this historic aircraft. Built to Air
Ministry Spec 5/20 for a troop carrier, it was not con-
sidered
robust enough, and the contract was awarded to the Vickers Victoria,
even though the second
prototype Awana addressed this deficiency. In my opinion, the
Awana was much more aerodynamically
pleasing to
the eye.
