Very nice

Nice photos.
Small problem is that MM81205/GF-128 is preserved at Weston-Super-Mare.

I could only see the "5" and the code was something like "DdiF3something" That's why I wrote I THINK above the first pic.
I really didn't want to look like a plane spotter, so I tried to be as casual as I could and mk.I memory failed me.

Great shots Wallace, i passed the Whirlwind on the A96 in the afternoon, very nice to see.
Cheers.

Nice wee choppers.

Nice to see another Whirlwind being preserved

Thanks for posting

Then I suspect it will be MM81335/GF-134.
There aren't many candidates for the second one, well actually only MM81221/GF-131 and MM81335/GF-134 I think.

Confirmed - MM81335 GF-134 is the first one
