Who would ever buy an aircraft called a "Skipper"?

Call it the "Fang" or the "Large Female Body Part"
or the "Oversized Male Bodypart" and you'd Triple
the sales figures, I guarantee!!!!!!!

Marketing! God save 'em......

"Skipper"! PAH!

spot on mate!

you did however neglect to include the all-important fact that it was a Westland-built aircraft! Cierva never built one himself!

as an aside, these Westland prototypes were very important machines to Britain's war efforts; having the ability to hover (almost as well as later helicopters) they were secretly used to calibrate our Chain Home RADAR instruments, flying at precise heights and distances from the masts.

obviously their other importance was as a pre-cursor to Westland's core business - helicopters!

over to you SB ;)
