A specification was issued in May 1934 by the airline to Armstrong Whitworth and the result was the A.W.27 Ensign, the first of which was ordered in September 1934 at a price of £70,000; delivery was to take place within two years and in May 1935 a further 11 were ordered at £37,000 each.
A modest increase in performance was achieved by fitting the more powerful Armstrong Siddeley Tiger IXC engines to the sixth aircraft, and in spite of problems the Ensign fleet served the airline's European routes; 11 had been delivered by the outbreak of war.
The original 'Ensign' had been damaged at Lagos in 1943 and was scrapped in 1945, while 'Euterpe' and 'Euryalus', damaged at Almaza and Lympne respectively, were cannibalized for spares.
