	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Westland Wasp
		The Westland Wasp was a general purpose helicopter, basically a derivative of the British Army Scout helicopter, with the requirement of being small enough to land on Royal Navy frigates.
		During that war, a Wasp, operating from HMS Endurance, the Antarctic patrol ship, launched a number of torpedoes which homed in on and heavily damaged the Argentinean submarine Santa Fe, which posed a risk to the British Task Force that was steaming towards the Falkland Islands.
		The Westland Wasp, powered by the Rolls-Royce nimbus 503 engine was developed as a light anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare helicopter carrying 2 target-seeking torpedoes for operations from small ships and was the first of a new generation of gas-turbine powered light helicopters.

		During the conflict, a Wasp, operating from HMS Endurance, the Antarctic patrol ship, launched a number of torpedoes which homed in on and damaged the Argentine submarine Santa Fe, which posed a potential risk to the British Task Force that was steaming towards the Falkland Islands.
		The last Wasp was finally withdrawn from service in 1988 when the last of the frigates for which the Wasp had been designed, was decommissioned.
		RNZN Wasps are preserved in the Royal New Zealand Air Force Museum in Christchurch and the Museum of Transport and Technology in Auckland.

		The initial Wasp user was the RN who took 98 aircraft for use on 'Leander' class frigates.
		Four further Wasps were purchased in 1981 (arriving by 1983) to operate from the newly acquired HMNZS Southland and HMNZS Wellington, and for training.
		The retired RNZN Wasps were purchased by Westland, although NZ3906 (c/n F.9570, ex XS543) has been passed to the RNZAF museum, and NZ3902 (c/n F.9679) is in store at the Devonport Naval base for the Navy museum.

	The Helicopter Museum, the World's Largest Dedicated Helicopter Museum.
		Following an approach from the Helicopter Museum in late 1994, Westland agreed to transfer the aircraft for display and it was moved from storage to the museum on 19th January 1995.
		The Westland WG30 was developed by the company from the successful military Lynx family and used the dynamics system of this helicopter, matched to more powerful engines and an entirely new airframe.
		Following on from experience gained during the development of remotely piloted helicopters Westland started investigations in 1977 into a light two seat helicopter that could be used for aerial reconnaissance without the need for a skilled pilot.

	Westland Wasp H.A.S. Mk.1
		On August 9, 1959 Westland acquired Saunders-Roe and the two programs were combined into the “Scout/Wasp” program with the “Scout” being able to seat five with a skid undercarriage and the “Wasp” seating four with a quadricycle undercarriage and folding elements (tail and main rotors) to enable shipboard stowage.
		Wasps from the ice patrol ship HMS Endurance took part in the attacks, which crippled the Argentine submarine Santa Fe during the Falklands War.
		The Westland Wasp is not well represented in plastic, in fact the only two kits produced of this cute little helo are from Fujimi — one in 1/48 scale and one in 1/72 scale.

		The Wasp could carry a pair of MK 44 ASW torpedoes as well as other assorted weapon systems including the a pair of Aerospatiale AS 12 wire guided missiles.
		The kit was the Fujimi 1/48 Wasp and built OOB with the exception of the auxiliary fuel tank.

	The Westland Scout, Wasp, & Lynx
		The Wasp also had a folding tailboom, as well inflatable floatation gear carried in pods that looked like fuel tanks, mounted on struts alongside the upper fuselage, and of course featured the folding main rotor used on the Scout.
		Westland did consider a new TOW carriage arrangement, optional T800 engines, and a wide range of other enhancements for the AH.9 as the "Battlefield Lynx" for the export market, but nobody bought off on the idea.
		The Westland 30 civil transport helicopter derivative of the Lynx had been anticipated to an extent by an earlier concept, the Westland "Model 606", which was a Lynx with a fuselage stretch to accommodate up to 13 passengers, and uprated engines to handle the greater takeoff weight.

	Westland "Scout" / "Wasp" helicopter - development history, photos, technical data
		The definitive Wasp was mainly intended for ASW from frigates of the Tribal and Leander classes and similar vessels; for this purpose it could carry one or two 122kg torpedoes or 250kg of depth charges.
		The Wasp differed from the Scout mainly in the long-stroke landing gear with fully castoring wheels and the small tailplane on the starboard side of the tail rotor pylon.
		Wasps were also supplied to the navies of Brazil, the Netherlands, New Zealand and South Africa.

	Westland - Scramble
		Westland Aircraft Ltd (later expanded to Westland Group plc) was formed July 1935, taking over the aircraft branch of Petters Ltd (known previously as Westland Aircraft Works) that had designed/built aircraft since 1915.
		Westland Helicopters Ltd includes GKN Westland Industrial Products Ltd at Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, and has a 50 per cent interest in Aerosystems International Ltd at Yeovil (aerospace software, a partnership with BAE Systems) and EH Industries Ltd.
		The latter was formed as a partnership with Agusta of Italy for the development and manufacturing of the EH-101 Merlin helicopter, the last of which for the UK armed forces was completed in late 2002.

		"It was in 1988 that a Naval Air Wing, 499 Squadron, was established by the RMN to operate Westland Wasp helicopters," he said, and now the Lynx will replace them.
		Westland regards the Malaysian win as a major victory over rival Kaman and its Super Seasprite, which was chosen earlier by Australia and New Zealand.
		Malaysia's choice of the Lynx, he says, stands Westland in good stead to clinch the future requirement to equip up to 24 offshore patrol vessels (OPV).

	Airfix 1/72 Westland Scout / Wasp
		The Wasp was operated by the RNZN as a standard anti-submarine equipment aboard it’s four frigates, the Waikato, Wellington, Canterbury and the Southland, it was normally flown by a solo pilot carrying two 122kg torpedos.
		I managed to find some plans on the internet of both the Scout and the Wasp, by studying the plans I could see the main differences between the Scout and Wasp was the undercarriage, with the Scout having skids and the wasp having a complex strut/wheel setup.
		The Scout has a single tailplane that sits under the rotor and on the Wasp it is at the top and on the opposite side of the rotor so the tailplane was cut in half and glued to the top.

	Westland Wasp
		The Wasp was based on the Army Scout helicopter and originally named Sea Scout.
		Many trials were carried out with prototype aircraft to asses the viability of operating small helicopters in an anti-submarine roll off frigates.
		When these trials were shown to be a success, greatly increasing a ship's ASW capability, the RN ordered the Wasp HAS1.

	Fujimi 1/48 Westland Wasp
		Molded in a very dark blue plastic, this kit is undoubtedly from the early 1970s or perhaps late 1960s, when Fujimi kits were imported by AHM as the instructions are in English.
		Instructions are typical of the older style with several exploded drawings and a step by step written construction sequence.
		Due to the age of the kit and the conditions under which it was stored, the decals on this kit do not appear to be viable any longer.
