The Galloway Atlantic is a 500 hp V12 aero engine that was ordered into production towards the end of WW1. The Atlantic saw postwar service in Handley Page V/1500 bombers built by Galloway’s parent company, William Beardmore & Co.[1] In contemporary publications the type is often referred to as the Beardmore, or BHP, Atlantic or 500 hp.[2]
