Ps Newark stocks p/notes

: Had a very good set of drawings e-mailed to me from a cont
: act at Hyperscale.
: Not good enough to build a real Whirly of course, but almo
: st good enough to build a fairly detailed full-scale model
: .
: They were drawn in 1965, by someone called Shennan, and th
: e interesting bit is that at the bottom of one of the draw
: ings he actually thanks Westland for the use of drawings,
: possibly that means that the production drawings really do
: exist, or they did in 1965 anyway?
:
: So who out there can lay there hands on the reall McCoy fo
: r us, with lots and lots of detailed photos ?
:
: Anyone got an AP on the Whirlwind fighter, or know where t
: o get one ?
:
: Even if we don't manage to get a "real" Whirly built, I wo
: uld really like to build a full-scale model of one over th
: e next 100 years, well you know, I'm a perfectionist ain't
: I !!! :-)
:
: Anyone got the pilots notes for the Whirly and could scan
: the cockpit photos in it for me, if not i'll have to buy o
: ne if they're still available?
: Incidentally, the pilots notes were done from the Whirly t
: hat crashed in Scotland, P6966 the first production one, b
: ut they actually came out after that Whirly had crashed!
:
: So basically I'm looking for anything and everything on th
: e Whirlwind, one of these fine days I'm gonna build one.
