Hi Zen,We also have a thread on that design here:[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/gloster-f9-37.9847/[/URL]My conclusion in a nutshell: "Overall, the Gloster F.9/37 is much larger in all dimensions than the Westland Whirlwind, I really wonder if it's realistically possible that it was just 20 mph slower than the Whirlwind on the same engine!"It's actually about the same size and weight as the Me 110, which had engines that were closer to the Merlin than the Peregrine or Taurus. If a Merlin-engined Gloster F.9/37 would be viable, that might have an overall more competitive performance, I guess.Regards,Henning (HoHun)
