Westland did produce the Whirlwind (not to be confused with the later helicopter), and it entered service an 1940. Should have been a good plane, but it had the fabled RR Peregrine's (like the Manchester). Unfortunately, Messr's Supermarine and Hawker needed all the RR Merlins they could get (as everyone did in those days), and they weren't fitted to the Whirlwind. Have a look at the link below...
