Armstrong Whitworth Atalanta - Imperial Airways First Monoplane

Description

The Armstrong Whitworth Atalanta was the first monoplane airliner in service with Imperial Airways. Never as glamourous as the biplanes in service at the time, but probably a far better aeroplane. The eight built were: G-ABPI Atalanta (renamed Arethusa) G-ABTH Andromeda G-ABTI Arethusa (renamed Atalanta) G-ABTJ Artemis G-ABTK Athena G-ABTL Astraea G-ABTG Amalthea G-ABTM Aurora Music: ‘Honeysuckle’ by Honeyroot. Photos: Air-Britain, Jack Meaden, Dave Welch and others. I try to contact photographers where possible but this is not always successful.
