Whirlwind

Hi

My friend in Jersey wouldn't say anything about the location of the Whirlwind down there, apart from the fact it's in St Brelades bay, so short of getting a sonar sweep of the bottom it's going to take some finding.

As for the talk about building a Whirlwind, Classic Airframes must have had access to some form of plans to produce such an accurate 1/48th kit.

I was talking to my Dad when he told me there was a pic in an old issue Flypast of a mock up Whirlwind, by Westlands themselves in wood.

He couldn't remember anything else but he did volunteer to build one (he's a retired carpenter) if someone could supply accurate(ish) drawings and the wood!

See you
