Today in this facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/871581506332470 by Ex Westland Paul Chapman rescued files before they entered the shredder.

And this one with the text

"Westland Multi-role Fleet Helicopter circa 1978 so before my time. An eccentric tailboom made sense in this project (is there anything that is not eccentric with helicopters?). From the WG projects file. We made small scale scans of the big original drawings before they were disposed of (an unpopular edict from above), and I don't think the reports survived. Later (in the 1990s) I returned to the eccentric back end for a rather stealthy project (which was so stealthy that any drawings unsurprisingly seem to have vanished)."

Paul Chapman's reply:

Not sure...will have to delve. Most probably a quickish scheme to show the size/power/weight/cost savings for getting rid of the pilot bit.

The small drone is the Westland Wideye.

Almost:
It’s the Wisp. The Wideeye has a significantly different body. Also the rotor-mast is a dead give-away.

Choppers, helos, вертолет (787) & Museumshubschrauber, gate guards, Авиапамятник (219) & RC (61) & UAV/S (67) – Westland WG.25 Mote (1975), Wisp (1976), Wideye (1978)

Love the way the pilot is looking down at the drone in the forward view, as if he’s thinking “Wow! That thing is small!”
