Westland Whirlwind Mk. I "Cannon Fighter"

In the days before the outbreak of the Second World War, the British Air Ministry issued requirements calling for two types of new fighter aircraft:
one lighter, armed only with machine guns, and the other with heavier cannon armament.
To these specifications, the machine gun-equipped Spitfire and Hurricane were developed.
 The requirement for the heavier type led to the construction of the twin-engined Westland Whirlwind fighter.
 The Whirlwind was used in both fighter and ground attack roles over the English Channel.
The model of the Whirlwind shows the fighter variant of this type.
