    Image from the Robert Lawrence Spurdle personal collection. Air to air view of No. 263 Squadron Whirlwind P6969, HE-V in flight over England. Original caption on the reverse reads "Photographs showing the Westland "Whirlwind", a twin-engined single-seater monoplane Fighter now operating with the R.A.F.. It is fitted with two Rolls-Royce "Peregrine" engines, each of 850 h.p. and its armament consists of four 20mm cannons mounted in the nose. The span is 45 ft. length 32 ft. 3 ins. and height 10 ft. 6ins. An interesting feature is the tail unit, the tail planes being placed well above the line of the fuselage and set in the high fin towards its upper extremity. The range of this fighter was indicated by the announcement in August, 1941, that "Whirlwinds" had formed part of the escort to the bomber force as far as Antwerp during the great daylight raid on Cologne. 5th March, 1942."
