Westland Widgeon (helicopter)
The Westland Widgeon was a private venture improvement on the Westland WS-51 Dragonfly helicopter, which essentially increased the cabin capacity and replaced the Dragonfly's rotor head, blades and gearbox by the units used in the Westland Whirlwind. Three Dragonfly Series 1As were converted to WS-51 Series 2 Widgeons and the first one flew on 23 August 1955.
