If any of you follow the discussions on the WIX board,
http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org...ix1msgboard.mv , then you will know about our plan, to build a Westland Whirlwind from scratch. The replica, will be built in aluminium throughout, as opposed to magnesium, as per the original. The intention, is to build an EXTREMELY faithful replica, that will eventually taxi under it's own power, until such time, as it is placed on permanent display. To this end, we need your help. We have already been offered the A+P's for this aircraft, but we still need as many bits and drawings, as can physically be found. We need the powerplants, and any pieces of airframe, that might still be extant in the UK and elsewhere. We need crash locations or ditching locations for further investigation, or any information that can be offered. The projected time , at this moment, from "plans down" to first taxi, is 3 years. If you can help, please reply via this forum, or contact me, Tony King at

Many thanks
Tony
