Giglamps,
Please contact Jim Munro at
rjamesmunroATgooglemail.com
He is keen to make contact with you, and to ascertain who your Uncle was.
Jim has amassed an incredible amount of information about the Whirlwind with the intention of putting it together for a TV documentary.
Jim is in touch with at least 10 ex Whirlwind pilots, now scattered across the globe.
If anyone out there has information, photos, documents (perhaps knows where a complete Whirlwind is hiding in some remote hangar...
please post here and please do contact Jim who will be delighted to correspond with you on the subject of this maligned and little known fighter aircraft.
Thanks,
Chris
