Westland Whirlwind official test reports
Anyone out there with copies of official handling reports on the Whirlwind? Corduroy's book is an utter failure in this respect.

Re: Westland Whirlwind official test reports
Do they actually want money just to check how much would it cost to copy the docs?

Sorry, I don't know. I've never ordered anything this way. Someone else here may have experience of the service however.

Quote:
1. the cost of a page check (£8.40) 2. the cost of making copies of a record, if it is possible to do so

Thanks for the explanation! All the more reasons to curse Corduroy!

Re: Westland Whirlwind official test reports
Try to find a researcher. Bruce Dennis ran such a service but I believe he retired by now. It was much cheaper than the official service. Certainly more rewarding than any book.
