Whirlwind in Shepherds Bush

I posted a new thread on here sometime last year, about a colleague at work who saw a Wessex which I cannot find (old age and I have forgotten the title)!

Anyway, If you get the London Overground trains from Sheperds Bush east bound towards Willesden Junction, look out the right hand side of the train windows as you leave the station and you will see an ex Royal Navy Whirlwind possibly on top of a container with a wolf or dogs face painted on it.

However I should point out it is in a yard occupied by travellers inbetween the sliproad upto the A40 Westway from S/Bush and the train tracks.

Does anyone know which airframe it is? Its in the dark blue navy scheme and has no boom. So if you are in the area keep an eye out.

At some point I plan to go back and maybe try and take a pic of it, from the train!

Cheers
