whirlwind fighter airframe plate

Hi
Auction has finished, I didn’t bid,
But what is the opinion on the plate ?
I didn’t think whirlwinds had that many mod’s to the airframe ?
Anyone have any opinions ?
cheers
Jerry

Could be genuine. I’ve got a mint stick off a Whirlwind. But it’s a helicopter one. Who can tell?

well dunno if its genuine but for 30 quid i knock you up as many as you want:diablo: I would think the part numbers for the grip are not westland whirlwind only so would not match up.

Got a few WW2 westland whirlwind parts all stamped starting 69

well i have seen several Rolls Royce perigunes data plates about claiming to be the real thing, i think it looks a bit of a fluke, Anyhow thought that all Whestland Whirlwind serials numbers started 69—–

Hi Jerry,
All RAF Aircraft down the ages were modified like crazy, it was the British way of doing things,not too up on the Whirlwind,but that would be the norm.
