Armstrong Whitworth AW.52G

I shuld have said war/post-war period.

It was built to an a Ministry of Supply spec but carries the Prototype ‘P’ and serials in accordance with military specs, also the A.W.52G glider, RG324, which was part of the same programe carried full national military markings.

Good, and rare footage of the A.W.52 here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H1tyMRtcho

What about stuff during the very early days of military aviation, only period I can think of that may have covered this but was the AW.52 actually used for military evaluation or just as an experimental type?

Just a thought, but were the A.W.52 powered flying wings, TS363 & ‘368, unique in being British military prototypes that didn’t carry any national markings, ie roundels and fin flashes?

PM me your addy and I will provide scans.

Some nice CGI stuff there with the AW variants and the AW49 is very nice, reminds me of the SAAB J-21A.

And yes the AW.52G was rather modest but interesting none the less.

Thanks for the info Pagen01 now to track down a copy of the article…

Sadly not – that’s the larger powered A.W.52 – the A.W.52G was a little more modest.:) See: http://www.aviastar.org/air/england/arm_aw-52g.php

According to the excellent Barry Jones article and colour three view in Aeroplane Monthly May 1995 it looks to be a Medium or Dark Sea Grey, or the standard grey used in camoflage of the era.
Undersides were yellow of course.
