The Westland Interceptor was a fighter developed by Westland Aircraft to Air Ministry Specification F.20/27, which called for a fighter operating in the daylight interception role. Design work began in late 1927 and the single prototype made its first flight in early 1929, powered by an uncowled Bristol Mercury IIA that was later replaced by a Mercury III. When tested in 1929 and 1930 it showed unsatisfactory handling characteristics, and the RAF rejected it in favour of the Hawker Fury biplane fighter.
