More Pics of Whirlwinds during confrontation on Key....

Tiger Mate:

More pictures of Whirlwinds and some of bases used, on Key Publishing "Historic Aviation" under the thread "Confrontation - know your enemy, was it Soekarno ?"

See: Confrontation - Know your enemy, was it Soekarno ? - Key Publishing Ltd Aviation Forums

The No. 1 enemy was considered by many of us who were on the things as "The Gnome".....

The pilot in the light green flying suit in dayglo XR456 looks very nuch like George Kelson to me, the inventor of a particular "Donkey" name for the horrible, round, "kind of" similar to, Luncheon meat sandwiches made by the cook at Nanga Gaat for our box lunches....

Best of luck with the painting.
