From the IFR flying thread it would seem there a few lurking here who once had an acquaintance with Mr. Westlands machine. Was yours a love affair as was mine? Only 144 hours but thought it the nearest thing in terms of handling to a sports car. Rock solid governor, no droop or overspeed, no cool down either as I remember (36 years ago). Just a pity about the fuel consumption and payload capability. Interested in your views/experiences. Flew this machine from ship in survey work updating Capt. Cooks charts (which were impressively accurate).
