Westland Whirlwind

[Martyn]

Thanks for your efforts Martyn - we can expect this aircraft to be added in about 2 weeks! 

Re the Firefly. HTC would only need the Mk I stuff as this is the only version that saw combat in WWII. Is that easily sorted or do you have to trawl through loads of stuff to get the data for it?

I've got a lot to trawl through regardless. The quality isn't that great and some of the copies seem to be out of order.

Anyone know of a free OCR service?

[RTHolmes]

even decent OCR software wont work with that quality scan

[Baggy]

Send it to me and I'll key it in  - 30 years a typesetter! I'll help where needed Martyn.

Thanks - nrshida has the scanned docs for the Whirlwind. I need to sort the Fairey Fairefly info then scan them in too.

[nrshida]

You'll have them today Baggy

Nice work guys.

[nrshida]

I hope this is better. Unsorted but in a hurry. Sorry for that but no more time today

Does anyone know if it is possible to calculate the climb rate from the chart but without the bombs?

That climb chart is also a MIL, the Whirly did WEP at +9 lbs boost.
