Talk:Westland Whirlwind (helicopter)

message: On your page for the Westland Whirlwind helicopter you sometimes include a space in the type designation and sometimes not.  I wanted to make this consistent but didn't want to make this consistently wrong; which should it be? --Morven 18:59, 6 Nov 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Truly I have no idea. I checked, and the RAF Museum has both uses on the same page, so I'm guessing it isn't important. Feel free to pick one. DJ Clayworth 19:03, 6 Nov 2003 (UTC)

message: Introduced 1950, maiden flight 1953?  If the earlier dat erefers to the Sikorsky H-19, isn't this still incorrect as British built versions of Sikorsky products usually differed somewhat? Douglasnicol (talk) 21:38, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have changed introduced to 1954 when the first Whirlwind HAR1s were delivered to the RN. MilborneOne (talk) 22:03, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Did France really operated the westland variant ?  I read that was built locally by Sud-Est --Jor70 (talk) 00:07, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have a S-55 Srs 1 registered 1953 as G-AMYN and then to the French Navy in April 1954. And I believe also operated by the Air Force and the Army, at least one image of an Army operated is on the internet - http://www.paulnann.com/Country.asp?Country=France&Make=Westland&Family=Whirlwind&ImageRef=pn_w4593.jpg MilborneOne (talk) 14:39, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  You seem to be right! just curious how they ended there. Perhaps sud-est get a sublicence from Westland ? like Westland did with agusta's bell 47 ?--Jor70 (talk) 15:12, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: 37 Whirlwind HAR.2s were delivered to the French Navy during 1954-56 according to Westland Aircraft since 1915, with one WS-55-1 ex G-AMYN to the French Navy and a further six WS-55-1s to France (with no operator stated) I suspect that there must be some double counting going on here to make the production figures add up.  And according to Jane's 1953-54, Sud Est did have a license to build the S.55.  Curious...Nigel Ish (talk) 17:26, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
