Rapid Travel Ver 2.0 Update from www.aafo.com
We have posted an update on Rapid Travel Racing's web page http://www.rapidtravelracing.com. There are some high res photos taken by Jeffery Howard (posted with permission) of the crash and there is a link to a you tube video taken by the in-cockpit camera of the last 1 minute and 40 seconds of the flight. It includes a stop action sequence of the last 5 seconds, wherein some interesting things can be seen. The mysterious loss of George's glasses were revealed (at 4:39 to 4:41 in the video) and from the pilot's perspective just how close the engine came to him during the crash. It is also interesting to note how the video camera when faced with 10 g's plus still survived, but with some major distortion in output.

The Westland Whirlwind had only a small role in World War II for the British despite being one of the first operational frontline fighters of the war. The fast, nimble, and heavily armed twin-engine fighter featured four 20mm cannons in the nose and, like the Boulton Paul Defiant, would fall short of its initial design goal to escort bombers. Now British documentarian James Munro is completing work on Ghost of the Whirlwind, (MacDeutsch Films, Mid-2011) a film about this fighter that dazzled military brass and devastated ground targets, but eventually was defeated by its own production problems. ...
