Well we learn something new every day.

You were right Armstrong Whitworth was merged into the HS group in 1935 but retained the name until 1959 when it merged with Bristol Aero Engines to become Bristol Siddley until 1966 it was merged with Rolls Royce.
Prior to all of that they had aquired A V Roe Co Ltd in 1928

Aaaaah all those wonderful old names that were there at the beginning.

Ah James will you bring the motor around please.

Is this a motor or what?
