		It had some teething problems related to the Rolls Royce Peregrine engine and the fact that it's landing speed was 80 mph, which meant that it could not use the standard grass field of a British aerodrome.

		The Whirlwind was a single seat, twin engined fighter powered by a pair of Rolls Royce Peregrine I engines.

		The Whirlwind was also capable of handling a small bomb load of 453kg on under wing racks outboard of the engines.

	Model Airplane News - Featured Plan - Westland Whirlwind (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Westland Whirlwind was the product of the British Air Ministry’s requirements for a single-seat, twin-engine, day-and-night fighter-bomber, and it saw service from 1940 to 1943.
		I drew the plan using factory 3-views, and the outlines are very accurate; I did narrow the width of the fuselage and the nacelles to streamline the model.
		Though not a beginner’s project, the Whirlwind can be built and flown by anyone who is comfortable with a low-wing, aileron airplane.

		200 Whirlwinds were ordered in early 1939 with another 200 ordered later in the year.
		Production was slower than expected, possibly due to Lysander work and problems in supply of the Peregrine engines and the first Whirlwind arrived at an RAF base beginning June 1940.
		Its easy to say, why not work on the Peregrine but Rolls Royce had already decided to abandon production of this and the Whirlwind and Peregrine were built around each other only whereas the Hercules was being looked at for a number of other aircraft.

		The Whirlwind was a fine fighter that could combat single-engined fighters with success.
		The Whirlwind was tailored to this engine and the original specification.
		When the Hurricane and Spitfire proved to be able to carry the 20mm cannon, and the Beaufighter filled in the heavy fighter role, interest in the Whirlwind faded.

		The aircraft itself should represent an aircraft that was used as a fighter bomber in the Operation Starkey, against the miscaptions in most books which say that it is an aircraft used in the Dieppe raid.
		As I modeled this one, I too belevied that it is from the Dieppe raid, but the facts that the Whirlwind specialist Stefan Plato gave me did change my mind.
		Even when in most books is talked about a failed Operation, one of the innovations taken over from this event are the white wing markings which later became better known as invasion or D-Day stripes.

		To match the duelist's 67 in span, 795 sq in wing area the whirlwind would have a 78 inch span for a 799 sq in area.
		But the Westland Whirlwind HAR series is the British license built version of the Sikorsky S-55 helicopter.
		So I suppose you mean the earlier Whirlwind, the twin engined fighter from the mid 1930's.
