Forget,
I agree with you about Westlands probably used whatever they could get their hands on, but I still would like to find the actual one they used in the both the early Whirlys up to P6983 and P6984 aircraft
I'm worried if I stray from what we knowwas used, there will be someone that will whinge about it not being correct...
bral.
Hmmm the wHIRLY Parts AP, thats a bit of a sore point with me... I had a copy from the RAF Museum but lent it to someone who was also making a Whirly cockpit for him to scan. But he moved away and would not answer any of my emails that I sent!
Silly of me I know. Trouble was I barely looked through it at the time, so don't really know much about exactly what was in it... D'oh!
I think it cost £120 for both the parts and the repair AP's, but that was about 4-5 years ago now, so I would expect it to be a bit more now... Will have to get in touch with them again to find out...
