Do you know if they make a kit of this plane. And if so do you know where I could purchase one? THANK YOU HAVE A NICE DAY

I'm stunned by the existence of a tailless aircraft with variable geometry wings so long ago. It's even more surprising how obscure it is. I've never seen it before today and I've been an aviation enthusiast since the late-60s. Westland had some brilliant designs.

I can remember seeing an aircraft of similar shape (obviously not this one)with an escort, flying over Keynsham towards Bristol, in the 50's I would love to know which model it was.

I have a poor quality photo of what I believe is a Mk IV. Are yopu interested?

They certainly were innovative at Westland and in something of an irony they are the last independent remaining because of that. The fact that they made the decision to give up fixed wing to go into helicopters was because of their desire not to be subsumed into a larger less independent aircraft conglomerate which to them would be a decidedly less innovative organisation.

Really amazing! Years before the American flying-wing airplanes were cratering desert landscapes, these guys were doing stunt-plane in them.

Variable sweep wings, adjustable in flight, is there anything they didn't invent at Westlands?
