Westland Widgeon

The Westland Widgeon (not the aircraft of the 1920's !) was a private venture by Westland Aircraft as an improvement on the Westland WS-51 Dragonfly by increasing the cabin capacity and replacing the Dragonfly's rotor head, blades and gearbox with the units used in the Westland Whirlwind. Only a dozen were built.
