Armstrong-Whitworth F.K.8

The Armstrong-Whitworth F.K.8, also known as the Big Ack, was a solid two-seater that simply performed its job without attracting a lot of attention. It served with Sqns. 2, 8, 10, 35, and 82 in France; 17 and 47 in Macedonia; and 142 in Palestine. Early models used the 120hp Beardmore engine and a simplified nose-over skid; later models, the 160hp Beardmore and standard vee undercarriage. Two Victoria Crosses were awarded to crews of FK.8s.
