Westland Whirlwind

An worthwhile project to build a replica of one of my favourite but extinct aircraft.

I wonder who was in charge of naming at Westland...?



Yours is much prettier; as a youngster I made a model of one.

Interesting project. Sourcing Peregrine engines will be very difficult so I expect they'll end up with facsimiles of some sort.

On the naming front, Westland used names more than once on a couple of occasions. There were two Wessxes and two Walruses at different times.
