[RAF_Magpie]

It's been a few months since we've heard anything about the Whirlwind. Anyone heard from RAF_Magpie or any of the other folks on the Whirlwind team? An interesting aircraft and MOD project.

The aircraft is finished, as far as complete external model and corresponding programming are concerned. All she is waiting for is the finished cockpit, which, unlike the likes of a Spitfire, Mustang, or what have you, is actually much harder to get a complete data set for. Archie has provided us with everything that is in existence, so now its just a matter of fine crafting it to perfection.

As for giving updates? Well this is the extent that I am prepared to go into; we are playing our cards close to our chest for reasons I am not at liberty to disclose - let me put it this way, speculation and snide comments don't come close to knowing the truth of what is happening.

I do not frequent this forum at all, point of fact this is the first time I've been here in months - and as I've said in the past, any and all information will be released via the RAF site, and one other... but only when it is prudent to do so.
