When I was young, About 40 years ago, I fly this helicopter. Westland Wasp is single engine helo, design for ship board operation and its unique think is that the rotor and tailboom can be folded. I like it verymuch it sounds like a bee and the sockbreaker is very smooth. A very historic helicopter
This one has they South African flying springbok emblem, South Africa before it's fall under African National Congress "rule" used the Wasp for the navy also.
It looks like a fantastic bird . I think they definitely should make a upgraded model. Although I prefer skids instead of wheels . Ask for Pilots for input on that especially rescue Pilots. I don't fly them I have just worked around Helicopters at the Airport mostly and around them putting out wild land fires and med evacuation. So many Huey's still flying not so much your bird. I'm happy you have one going.
Superb, thank you
Great footage. I love the wasp and the scout. So lucky to be able to fly in one. I’d love a flight. 😊
