Whirly mystery object number 9 (There’s been more than that, but it rhymed and sounded nice… :p)
Anybody got a clue?
There’s a couple of accumulators tucked in a tray below, although again it might be something to do with the Radio? There’s nothing about it in the AP either… 🙁
Here’s a picture…

Hi
Probably the horn unit, as the upward identification lamp was higher up.
voltage regulator was in the rear fuselage frame.
cheers

Hi Jerry, always a pleasure hearing from you…
The UIL was mounted on top the main canopy from the drawings we have…
Does anyone know if the horn was used all through the Whirlys service, I only ask as on some AC it appears to be missing…
I have a photo of one (Thanks to Air Ministry, cheers Alan) are there any others that we could have a copy of please…
Mr Blue
UIL Number 52…

Ah… I think its a horn… 😉
Pilots Notes
24. Warning Horn. – An electrically-operated horn for audible warning is mounted behind the pilots head, and sounds when throttling back if the wheels are not in the DOWN position…
Mystery solved… 🙂

At a guess – voltage regulator?
Cheers
