- Image Description:
- The Westland Wallace was a two-seat, general-purpose biplane as a follow-on to their Wapiti. As the last of the inter-war general purpose biplanes, it was used by a number of front line and Auxiliary Royal Air Force Squadrons. In 1933 a Westland Wallace became the first aircraft to fly over Mount Everest, as part of the Houston Mount Everest Expedition. Of the just over 170 aircraft ordered, around 80 were still in use at the start of the Second World War, mostly serving as target tugs, a role they performed until 1943.
