The Westland Wallace was a British two-seat general-purpose biplane of the Royal Air Force, developed by Westland as a follow-on to the successful Wapiti. It began as the PV-6, a private venture of 1931 that differed from the standard Wapiti in being 20 inches longer, with an improved undercarriage and a Bristol Pegasus engine. The first Mark I Wallaces were conversions of Wapitis, 68 in all, while the Mark II was a new-build aircraft with a glazed cockpit, 104 being built. As the last of the interwar general purpose biplanes it served with front-line and Auxiliary Air Force squadrons, and later became a target tug and wireless trainer. In 1933 a Wallace became the first aircraft to fly over Everest, during the Houston-Mount Everest Flight Expedition.
