The Westland Woodpigeon was a British two seat light biplane designed to compete in the 1924 Lympne light aircraft trials, which the Air Ministry sponsored to encourage cheap aircraft for private owners and flying clubs. Westland entered it alongside its Widgeon parasol monoplane, unable to decide which design would be better. It was a conventional wooden biplane powered by a 32 hp Bristol Cherub III engine, and two were built; the first flew on 14 September 1924, about a week before the Widgeon. The second aircraft, registered G-EBJV, flew in the trials without success. It was re-engined with a 30 hp ABC Scorpion and given a greater wingspan for the 1926 Lympne trials, again without success, and in 1927 both aircraft received 60 hp Anzani 6 radial engines and were redesignated Woodpigeon II.
