The arrival of the very first British Westland Whirlwind helicopter at its new home at the Midland Air Museum in Coventry Airport, Baginton, marks a significant moment in aviation history. This iconic aircraft, dating back to the 1980s, is now proudly on display alongside 15 other remarkable aircraft at the museum. On this memorable day of May 17th, 1981, volunteers and enthusiasts gathered to witness this historic event. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as the sleek and powerful helicopter touched down gracefully on its designated spot.
