Whirlwind Paint & move
Story added 20th July 2007 by Malcolm
Great news for 1960s fans, after a long search we eventually came up with a new scheme for our Whirlwind that dated her right back with the Beatles. Used exclusively by Bristows for its entire life we were anxious to come up with an earlier scheme rather than the classic red white & blue.
Rubbing down the tailcone provided the first clue, two shades of blue. A black & white picture gave the scheme but not enough detail to start the paint job. Then a very early colour picture appeared courtesy of Lee Howard that didn't quite match our actual colours found on the frame but gave us the final pieces of the jigsaw. So you see her now fully re-painted & moved in to our "Interactive" area, blades removed to give her some room and a new lease of life for her interior as well.
