Navy Wings Celebrates Wasp at 60

The 60th anniversary of the introduction of the Westland Wasp into front-line service with the Fleet Air Arm was celebrated at RNAS Yeovilton on September 19, 2024, with a Navy Wings-organised gathering of five of the dainty, but deadly, anti-submarine helicopters.Around 100 guests, including former Wasp aircrew and maintainers, were in attendance, alongside the two Wasps operated by Navy Wings: XT420/G-CBUI, its primary display aircraft, and XT787/G-KAXT, which serves as a spare, although they were both on static display.
