The Armstrong Whitworth Siskin was the first all metal fighter aircraft of the Royal Air Force. The aircraft was based on the wooden Siddeley Deasy S.R.2 Siskin.
Advanced models of the Armstrong Whitworth Siskin used the more powerful Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar IV engine that was supercharged for better high altitude performance. These aircraft first flew in October of 1925. Some 465 of these Siskin III aircraft were manufactured.
Armstrong Whitworth Siskin III aircraft equipped eleven squadrons in Great Britain. Canada and Estonia also flew Armstrong Whitworth Siskin III aircraft.
The Armstrong Whitworth Siskin served in the British Royal Air Force through October of 1932 and with the Royal Canadian Air Force through 1939.

Radio Control Airplane
RC Airplane by MRDJ of RC Groups.
Radio Control Airplanes:
It appears that there are not many Armstrong Whitworth Siskin RC Airplanes modeled. In fact, we could only find one example Armstron Whitworth Siskin radio control airplane and it is pictured above. The RC Airplane is built by MRDJ of RC Groups. Wing span of the radio control airplane is 40". The MRDJ powers his RC Airplane with a Eflite 480 motor geared 4:1 swinging a 11 x 8 propeller. All up weight of the radio control airplane is a little under 2 lbs.
The first picture below is of a 1/72 scale Armstrong Whitworth Siskin plastic scale model airplane from Matchbox. The plastic scale model airplane was built by Richard Stracey.
Sams Models has plans for a 13" wing span Armstrong Whitworth Siskin flying scale model.
The last picture on this page is of the great looking Armstrong Whitworth Siskin scale model airplane on exhibit at the 2005 Scale Model World show. If you know who built the scale model airplane or have any additional information about it, please let us know.
