Talking of Whirlwinds, is the WIX Whirlwind project still live?


Unfortunately that project seemed to die out as personal tragedies diverted the attention of the main driving force with the project who subsequently left the forum. Its a shame because I would love to see a Whirlwind IRL.


Sorry to hear that Scott. I remember Mick's passing, but thought Tony and the rest of the guys were carrying on. I used to find it inspirational logging onto the old WIX and seeing messages whizzing around talking about how they were going to find bits, restore bits, fabricate bits. Had a real sense of seeing history in the making. Or should that be history being re-created? Either way, it would have been great to see. Maybe one day, eh?

You never know, I for one would love to see one fly. I think the Whirlwind is probably the most beautiful of the British twin-engined fighters.
