EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, taken at Baginton Aerodrome on 15 December 1946, a group of prominent figures from the aviation industry gather next to an innovative and groundbreaking experimental aircraft, the Armstrong Whitworth AW52. From left to right, we see T.O.M. Sopwith, Sir Ben Lockspeiser, Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Supply, John Lloyd, the Chief Designer of Armstrong Whitworth, and Squadron Leader Eric Franklin, AFC, DFC, a distinguished pilot. The absence of a tail on the AW52, an experimental tailless aircraft, sets it apart from traditional aircraft designs of the time. The AW52 was a significant step forward in aviation technology, as it challenged the conventional wisdom that a tail was necessary for stable flight. This tailless design, which was the brainchild of John Lloyd, was a bold departure from the norm and represented a major advancement in aerodynamic research. The presence of these influential figures in the photograph underscores the importance of the AW52 and the potential impact it could have on the future of aviation. Sopwith, a renowned aviator and founder of the Sopwith Aviation Company, brought a wealth of experience and expertise to the project. Franklin, a decorated pilot and test pilot, provided valuable insights into the practicalities of flying the experimental aircraft. And Lockspeiser, as the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Supply, played a crucial role in funding and supporting the development of the AW52. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of aviation research and development in the post-war era, and the pioneering spirit that drove innovations like the Armstrong Whitworth AW52.
