Hello Steve,
I saw your e mail after you had visited the Coventry museum.Had I have known you could have called for a cup of tea with me;as I am only about 20 minutes away from Baginton.I must agree with your comments about their Whitley fuselage section.I went to see it shortly after its arrival; and decided it was only worth looking at as it was part of a Whitley.With Ref to Putnams book; I have a copy ;purchased when it first came out.I have other books that were only available to A.W.A employees that I think may well have a photograph or two of the Whitley that you may have never seen.Leave it with me and I will see what I can find you.
We are still waiting to hear from Albert Whitehouse exactly what he deposited at Hendon.As soon as I have any news ;I will let you know immediately.I am considering running a letter in the Coventry Evening Telegraph;to see if any info is still languishing in dusty corners of ex AWA employees.However; I have no wish to step on the toes of those that are the founder members of the group.What do you think?
Kind Regards. Bill Griffin.

A very minor bit of news.
I have been trying to obtain a copy of the book from the Putnam
series "Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Since 1913" by Oliver Tapper. It
was first issued in 1973 and is one of the ones they have never re-
released, for some reason.
Well, thanks to the Internet I am now in possesion of a second hand
copy which contains an excellent write up on the Whitley as well as
quite a few pictures I have not seen before.
It is suprising how many 'firsts' the Whitley had to it's credit. It
is quite an underestimated aircraft in many ways. I intend to write
up a few details which I may post in the files section later.
Steve Reynolds.
