A helicopter with a radial engine...sends a shiver down my spine just to think about it.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Thankfully by the HAR.9 and HAR.10, they'd put a Gnome (a Bristol Siddeley rather then a garden one! ;D) turboshaft in the front. :)

...and that was before Westland even knew what a helicopter was! ;D

Whirlwinds and Wessexs. Proper helicopters if ever there were. ;D

Any chance of one flying again?
