Quite a few were out at Medford, Oregon for a while.....as there was some thought to binning the Radials and putting Turbines on the old girls.

Whirlie HAS 7

There must be a whole bunch of us still around with experience on the old Whirlwind from 705 squadron pre 1973 days but I don't think many (if any) ever had it as a S55 type rating on a European licence.

I reckon Derek Jones is a good bet. Still active, ex RAF with multiple oldies under his belt. He is still an examiner working for HJS in Aberdeen.
