Request For Westland Whirlwind Images
829 Naval Air Squadron has recently reformed at RNAS Culdrose, operating Merlin HM 1. As part of the re-commissioning a booklet is being produced detailing the history of the squadron. Does anyone have any images of the Whirlwind that they wouldn't mind being used in it? Any image would be welcome, but of particular interest are colour scans of 829 NAS a/c in HMS Endurance/HMS Protector Flight's colour scheme. Mandy Sheppard is working on a painting showing as many of the squadron's past aircraft as possible and contemporary photos will help her render the paint schemes really accurately. Please PM me if you can offer any assistance with this.
Many thanks
