	Westland Welkin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Welkin was a twin-engine heavy fighter from the Westland Aircraft company, designed to fight at extremely high altitudes in the stratosphere.
		The Welkin was essentially an evolution of the Whirlwind, fitted with a much larger wing, new engines in the form of Rolls Royce Merlin 76/77's, and a pressurized cockpit.
		The Welkin was seriously handicapped by compressibility problems exacerbated by its long but thick wings, causing the flyable speed range between high-incidence stall and shock-stall to become very small at high altitudes - any decrease in airspeed causing a 'normal' stall, any increase causing a shock-stall due to the aircraft's limiting critical Mach number.

	Westland Helicopters - history
		Early in the war Westland undertook the modification of all Mohawk, Tomahawk and Kittyhawk fighter provided to Britain from the USA under the Lease-lend programme, responsible for adapting the aircraft to RAF standard.
		Westland was already working as a sub-contractor for the Spitfire and was quickly brought on line as a full production unit, with its own group of small 'Shadow factories' in the local area (Somerton, South Petherton, Chard etc).
		Westland subsequently became the main contractor for the modification of the Spitfire for use at sea, taking design responsibility for wing fold and arrester gear.

		Westland were also building a small powerful twin-engined fighter, the Whirlwind intended to maintain air superiority over the English Channel and Northern France.
		Westland played a major part in the design of the Seafire and by the end of the war over 2000 Spitfire/Seafires had been produced in the Westland factories at Yeovil and Ilchester.
		The last fixed-wing design to be produced by Westland was the powerful Wyvern shipborne strike fighter, powered by a large turboprop driving contra-rotating propellers it entered service with the Royal Navy in 1953 and was used operationally during the Suez crisis in 1956.

		Westland decided to upgrade their existing Limousine to include a pilot and five passengers, and Limousine III was entered in the ‘small' aircraft competition which took place in 1920.
		Controversy over whether Westland should be financially linked with a United States company or to be similarly associated in Europe, led to the resignation of two government ministers in 1986, but the result was a strengthening of the company's ties with its long-term associates, the American Sikorsky company.
		More recently, Westland has demonstrated its ability in the design field by achieving the world air speed record for helicopters with a new type of rotor-blade configuration, and currently, in addition to the EH101, the Sikorsky Black Hawk is under development.

	1/72 Westland Welkin, by Carmel Attard
		There were two principal types of Welkin produced: These were the Westland Specification F4/40, which later corresponded to the F1 version, and the later NFII version that was developed in 1946.
		The prototype welkin DG558, which flew, flew on I-11-42, had a camouflage pattern to the upper surfaces painted similar to that on the Whirlwind of Dark green and ocean Grey with all yellow undersurfaces and an 18-inch sky painted “fighter band” around the rear fuselage.
		The Welkin arrived at a time when plans were already under way for the prop driven fighter to make way for the Jet fighter.

		The design of the Welkin was based on the configuration of the Whirlwind, with high-aspect ratio, long-span wings and Merlin engines.
		Because the high-flying bomber treat never materialized, the 67 Welkins built were kept in storage.
		Later Westland built a prototype of a two-seat nightfighter version, but the development of the advanced cabin pressurisation system was the only real benefit from this project.

		The Westland Lysander was a sturdy aircraft with STOL abilities, generally used for army co-operation work.
		By late 1940 it was obsolescent, but production was extended until 1942 in the belief that new uses could be found for the type.
		K6127 was later used for communication tests, and in the Welkin program, before being broken up in 1944.

		This aircraft came into being to counter the high altitude reconnaissance flights that the Luftwaffe was conducting over the British Isles.
		There were many problems that plagued the development life of the Welkin and by the time they were ironed out, the high altitude threat was no longer there.

		According to the only source of info I have, “The Secret Years” by Tim Mason, the Welkin was Westland’s answer to the scourge of high altitude German bombers and reconnaissance aircraft over England.
		DG558 was further extensively damaged on return to Westland in September of that year.
		Meanwhile Welkin DX280 was burnt out due to an engine failure and forced landing.

	Czech Master Resin 1/72 Westland Welkin
		I did a little research on the Internet and discovered that there were around 75 Welkin built, still not a significant number, particularly because the Luftwaffe ceased high altitude bomber missions, so the need for the Welkin no longer existed.
		There is no direction in the instructions on how to properly mount the individual blades to the spinner.
		The Welkin is a really big model, the wingspan is about the same as a 1/48th scale Hornet, de Havilland that is. This is not a “shake and make” model, but certainly less traumatic than some injection molded kits I’ve worked with.

		Although the company had never produced a successful combat aircraft design of its own, English Electric was also invited to participate, mainly because it had built up a good reputation for itself through the quality of the aircraft that they had built for the RAF.
		While at Westland, he had worked on the Lysander army cooperation aircraft, the Whirlwind long-range escort fighter, and the Welkin high-altitude interceptor.
		Petter's first concept for the new jet bomber was a mid-wing monoplane powered by a single very-large turbojet, an idea which he had been exploring back when he was at Westland.
