EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the first of fourteen Vickers Warwick C1s, registered as G-AGEX, in flight for the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC). Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp radial engines, this aircraft was a significant addition to BOAC's fleet in the late 1930s. The Warwick C1 was a versatile transport aircraft, capable of carrying both passengers and cargo, and was renowned for its reliability and efficiency. In this image, we get a unique perspective of the aircraft's underside, revealing the intricate details of its engine installation. The Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp radials, with their distinctive wasp-waisted shape, were a popular choice for many aircraft of the era due to their power and durability. The Warwick C1's wings are also visible in this shot, showcasing the sleek and streamlined design that made the Warwick series a favorite among aviators. The Vickers Warwick C1 made its first flight in 1936 and was delivered to BOAC in 1937. It served the airline faithfully for several years, playing a crucial role in expanding BOAC's network and connecting people across continents. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the remarkable advancements in aircraft design and technology during the golden age of flying.
