EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley V, registration number W4982, is seen parked at the Engineering and Production Centre, South Marston, Wiltshire, in September 1942. The Whitley V was a versatile British four-engine heavy bomber and transport aircraft, manufactured by Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Limited. This particular Whitley V was part of the Royal Air Force's (RAF) No. 138 Squadron, which operated from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire. The squadron was primarily engaged in transport duties, moving personnel, supplies, and equipment to various locations in support of the war effort. The image captures the Whitley V in its working environment, surrounded by the bustling activity of the Engineering and Production Centre. Workers are visible in the background, engaged in maintenance and repair tasks on other aircraft. The Whitley V's distinctive features are on full display, including its large tailfin, multiple cockpit windows, and the prominent RAF roundels and squadron markings on its fuselage. The Whitley V was a vital asset to the RAF during World War II, serving in various roles, including as a transport aircraft, a maritime patrol aircraft, and a special duties aircraft. Its versatility and reliability made it a popular choice for the RAF, and it saw action in numerous campaigns, including the Battle of the Atlantic and the D-Day landings. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the role of the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley V and the RAF's Engineering and Production Centre during the Second World War. The image is a testament to the ingenuity, resourcefulness, and determination of those who worked tirelessly to keep these vital aircraft in the sky, ensuring the success of the Allied war effort.
