In reply top OK. How many Whirlwind recoveries do we know about? posted by Paul McMillan on Tue May 07, 2002 04:21:52 AM
.....that I know about apart from the two you mentioned.
The one which crashed in Holland in the North-Sea Canal near Beverwijk and which was recovered (destroyed) during the sixties. It was discussed several times on this forum the past few months.
I also remember reading an article in FlyPast during the eighties concerning a Whirlwind which has crashed in Belgium or France (I will have to look it up). If I remember correctly it crashed on a house or in the backyard of one during a low level raid.
That's all I know for now.
Am I correct that Tony Dyer has three Whirlwind windscreen frames? And what about the nosecone in the posession of a collector?
