Edwards was born in [[Highams Park]], [[England]]. Beginning as a design [[technical drawing|draughtsman]] in 1935, he was promoted in 1940 to Experimental Department Manager and in 1945 he became the Chief Designer of the [[Vickers-Armstrongs]] team that produced the [[Vickers VC.1 Viking|Viking]], [[Vickers Valetta|Valetta]], [[Vickers Varsity|Varsity]], [[Vickers Viscount|Viscount]] and [[Vickers Valiant|Valiant]]. He later became Managing Director of the company, supervising the development of the [[Vickers Vanguard|Vanguard]], [[Vickers VC-10|VC-10]] and [[TSR-2]]. He was knighted in 1957. He was President of the [[Royal Aeronautical Society]] in 1957-8.
 
When the company was merged into the newly created [[British Aircraft Corporation]], he became Executive Director. During this period, he initiated the [[BAC One Eleven]]. BAC was also a partner in the international projects for [[Concorde]] (for which he led the British team), [[SEPECAT Jaguar|Jaguar]] and the [[Panavia Tornado]]. He was made a member of the [[Order of Merit]] in 1971, and was awarded the [[Royal Medal]] in 1974 for his distinguished contributions in the applied sciences. He retired from BAC, as Chairman, in 1975. In 1989 he was invested in the International Aerospace Hall of Fame.
 
His interests included [[painting]] and [[cricket]]. He served as President of [[Surrey County Cricket Club]] in 1979. He died in [[Guildford]] in 2003 and his memorial service was held in Guildford Cathedral.
