* Armstrong Whitworth, a British manufacturing company in the early 20th century

Larger STOVL designs were considered, the Armstrong Whitworth AW. 681 cargo aircraft was under development when cancelled in 1965.

In 1927, Vickers merged with the Tyneside based engineering company Armstrong Whitworth, founded by W. G. Armstrong, to become Vickers-Armstrongs, Ltd. Armstrong Whitworth had developed along similar lines to Vickers, expanding into various military sectors and was notable for their artillery manufacture at Elswick and shipbuilding at a yard at High Walker on the River Tyne.

Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft was not absorbed by the new company.

Designs came from Handley Page, Vickers, Fairey, Armstrong Whitworth and Parnall with what was to be the final expressly military type, the unnamed type G. 4 / 31.

William George Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong CB, FRS ( 26 November 1810 – 27 December 1900 ) was an effective Tyneside industrialist who founded the Armstrong Whitworth manufacturing empire.

In 1897 the company merged with the company of Armstrong ’ s old rival, Joseph Whitworth, and became Sir W. G.

Armstrong, Whitworth & Co Ltd. Whitworth was by this time dead.

* Aircraft built for one role such as the Avro Anson or Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle but converted to other roles rarely changed their names.

The carronade disappeared from the Royal Navy from the 1850s after the development of steel-jacketed cannon by William George Armstrong and Joseph Whitworth.

Imperial Airways used the Handley Page HP42 / HP45 four-engined biplanes from Croydon, as well as the Armstrong Whitworth Atlanta, which was the first monoplane airliner used by the airline, intended for use on the African routes.

Larger four-engined monoplanes, Armstrong Whitworth Ensign series ( G-ADSR ) came into service that year.

The Empire routes had contained landplane sectors, but the Armstrong Whitworth Ensign and de Havilland Albatross ordered to replace the Handley Page HP. 42 ' Heracles ' biplanes had proved disappointing, leaving the Short Empire flying boats as the backbone of the wartime fleet.

The first night interception was performed on the night of 13 – 14 August 1940 by Capitano Giorgio Graffer, when he located and opened fire on a British Armstrong Whitworth Whitley bomber that had been sent to attack Turin.

* March 9 – Armstrong Whitworth Whitley with No. 10 Squadron, Royal Air Force

The Royal Air Force had neglected air transport before the war, and the only available aircraft for airborne troops were conversions of obsolete bombers like the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley.

The naval force under Commander Cook departed from Britain during the afternoon, and the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley transport aircraft carrying C company took off from RAF Thruxton in the evening.

The airborne troops were delivered by converted Armstrong Whitworth Whitley medium bombers to the target on 10 February, but equipment failures and navigational errors meant that a significant portion of the troops explosives, and a team of Royal Engineer sappers, landed in the wrong area.

The Royal Air Force provided a number of Armstrong Whitworth Whitley medium bombers for conversion into transport aircraft for paratroopers.

The main Bomber Command workhorses at the start of the war, aircraft such as the Vickers Wellington, Armstrong Whitworth Whitley, and Handley Page Hampden / Hereford, had been designed as tactical-support medium bombers, and none of them had enough range or ordnance capacity for anything more than a limited strategic offensive.

The Armstrong Whitworth Whitley, retired by Bomber Command a month earlier, participates in a bombing raid for the last time, as Whitleys borrowed from Operational Training Units flesh out the Bomber Command force for the raid.

During this time, the unit operated a variety of types, including Hinaidis, Virginias and Handley Page Heyfords, beginning the Second World War as the first unit equipped with the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley.

* Armstrong Whitworth Whitley, World War II bomber

Between September 1939 and April 1941, No. 78 Squadron RAF used it to launch night operations using Armstrong Whitworth Whitley medium bombers.

The squadron had a strength of approximately 20 aircraft and initially used the twin engined Armstrong Whitworth Whitley medium bomber although this was quickly replaced by the Handley Page Halifax four engined heavy bomber which was being introduced.

From 1942 to 1943 the squadron flew the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley, then in 1943 the Chivenor squadron converted the Vickers Wellington equipped with the ASV radar and Leigh lights.

* No. 166 Squadron between 20 January 1937 and 17 September 1939 using the Handley Page Heyford III before switching to the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley I in June 1939 and moving to RAF Abingdon.

In March 1938 it replaced its Heyford biplanes with Armstrong Whitworth Whitley monoplanes.
