EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Foster-Wickno Warferry DR613, specifically the GM.1 variant with the registration number G-AFJB (msn 5), which was initially built for the Midland Aero Club in 1938. The Warferry DR613 was a single-engine, two-seat biplane designed and manufactured by the Foster-Wickno Aircraft Company. In July 1941, this particular aircraft was impressed into the Royal Air Force (RAF) as the demand for aircraft increased during World War II. The image captures the Warferry DR613 in its military livery, ready for action. Despite the challenging circumstances of war, G-AFJB survived and went on to play a role in the RAF's efforts. After the war, the Warferry DR613 was preserved, ensuring its historical significance would not be lost. This photograph is a testament to the resilience of the aircraft and the crucial role it played during a pivotal time in history. The Foster-Wickno Warferry DR613, with its distinctive design and rich history, continues to be a fascinating subject for aviation enthusiasts and historians alike.
