Dunlop tyres advert featuring an Armstrong Whitworth Ensign, 1938


A total 14 of the Armstrong Whitworth Ensign 4-engine airliner were built in the late 1930s for Imperial Airways and could seat 40 passengers. They were designed for European and Asian routes, connecting with further seaplane flights to Australia and South Africa.

In WW2, they were used for transport duties to and from the Middle East. After the war they were offered for sale, but no buyers were forthcoming and they were scrapped.
