TheFoster, Wikner Aircraft Company Limited was a British aircraft manufacturer formed in 1936.

The Australian aircraft designer Geoffrey N. Wikner moved to England in May 1934, where he looked for partners to build cheap and efficient aircraft. With V. Foster and J.F Lusty they formed theFoster, Wikner Aircraft Company Limited on 9 September 1936. J.F Lusty and the Lusty family were furniture manufacturers (William Lusty & Sons Limited). The company set up in their furniture factory at Lusty's Works inBromley-by-Bow, London and built the prototypeFoster Wikner Wicko.^[1]

In 1937 the company moved to premises atSouthampton (Eastleigh) Airport, Hampshire. Production of theWicko was started but was abandoned after the eleventh aircraft due to the start of the Second World War.
