Hawkesley Ltd, the Albemarle evoked little enthusiasm in its original role as a medium bomber. By the time it had been introduced, bomber development had advanced at such a pace that it was rendered obsolete even before it entered service. Instead, it was found to be more useful in transport and glider-tug duties for Britain's special forces. The Albemarle first saw action in 1943 where it was used in a glider-tow role over Sicily)

When it became clear that the RAF would not be ordering any more twin engined bombers, instead preferring the four engined heavies, the project transferred to the Armstrong Whitworth Company. There the design was adapted to serve as a reconnaissance bomber, before it was eventually decided to produce the Albemarle as a gilder tug and paratrooper transport aircraft.)
