1. Title: The Sole Survivor: The Armstrong Whitworth FK6, 7838 - A Piece of Aviation History 2. Description: This photograph showcases the solitary existence of a historical aviation relic, the Armstrong Whitworth FK6, registration number 7838. This rare aircraft, manufactured by the Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Company, is a testament to the evolution of aviation technology and design. The Armstrong Whitworth FK6 was a two-engine biplane designed for the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the interwar period. With its distinctive shape and advanced features, it was an essential addition to the RAF fleet. However, due to various reasons, including the emergence of more advanced aircraft designs, only one example of this aircraft type remains today. 7838, the sole survivor, is now preserved in the collection of the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, in the United Kingdom. The aircraft's preservation is a testament to the importance of maintaining aviation history and the dedication of those who work to preserve it. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a visual connection to an era when the possibilities of flight were just beginning to be fully realized. The Armstrong Whitworth FK6, 7838, stands as a reminder of the ingenuity, determination, and innovation that have shaped the aviation industry. 3.
