EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Westland Wapiti 1, a historic biplane from No. 601 (County of London) Squadron of the Auxiliary Air Force during the 1940s. The Wapiti, a versatile aircraft, served multiple roles including reconnaissance, communication, and training. With its iconic silver finish, this aircraft exemplifies the technological advancements and innovation of the aviation industry during the World War II era. The Auxiliary Air Force, also known as the 'Volunteer Reserve,' was established in 1936 to supplement the Regular Royal Air Force (RAF) in times of war. No. 601 Squadron, in particular, was renowned for its commitment and dedication to the cause. The Wapiti, a second generation Westland biplane, was a significant addition to the squadron's fleet. Its open cockpit design, fixed landing gear, and twin engines offered improved performance and versatility compared to its predecessors. The aircraft's robust design and reliability made it an essential asset for transportation and support missions during the war. This photograph captures a moment in time, highlighting the bravery and determination of the pilots and crew members who operated these magnificent machines. The Wapiti, with its distinctive silhouette, stands as a symbol of the indomitable spirit of the RAF and the Auxiliary Air Force during the 1940s. This image is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the crucial role it played in shaping the course of World War II.
