Westland: IV

From Graces Guide
Sept 1940. (G-AAGW).

Note: This is a sub-section of Westland Aircraft.

The Westland IV was a high wing, three-engined light transport aircraft built by Westland Aircraft.

The Westland IV first flew on 21 February 1929 at which time it was powered by the 95 hp Cirrus engine. This prototype was registered as G-EBXK and was certified for a crew of two and four passengers. The second machine had Hermes engines and a metal rear fuselage. The third machine, G-ABAJ, was modified to take the 105 hp Armstrong Siddeley Genet Major engines as well as some other changes and became the prototype Westland: Wessex. The two Westland IVs were subsequently converted to Wessexes giving 10 aircraft in total.
