Westland Whirlwind HAR 10, G-BKHC.

Roger Windley has delt with all sorts of aircraft over the years as an insurance store and himself as an operator. The reason they still exist is that its a bit removed from being a traditional ‘scrappy’ !

Many Thanks for the Photo of the Whirlwinds, VX927 ..

very interesting, I did email the scrap yard, but as of yet I have not recieved a reply .

but the photo is great VX927.. Hmm, wonder what is in store for these to old birds

The fact they are in a scrappy may suggest a future, but of course isn’t necessarily final….

Kind Regards

There are still 2 whirlwinds at Tattershall… I saw them last month when I flew over!

And they got the tail-rotor rotation direction wrong on XJ763…!.

erm…like it mattered when they dumped it there.

Circa 1989 I met a fellow who had a Whirlwind.
I saw it somewhere and he allowed me to sit in the PIC seat…not without some scalp blood shed caused by hitting something on entry.

IIRC, he was the head of a USAF base flying club.

I think the helicopter was soon damaged in a roll-over.

Anyone with any details? Was it BKHC?
