Where's the Wasp?

The Scout and Wasp were always the Mini of the Helicopter world, they always amazed me as to the dimutive size and carrying capability, there is nothing today produced really that compares, put it against something like a Squirrel which has about the same pax load and it dwarfs it.

I’m always reticent about locking threads.

If everyone bears in mind that there is some legal action pending and confines comment to the airframe, its history, and historic eggbeaters in general it can remain open. But we are watching.

Thanks to those who PM’d me the heads-up, sorry I was slow coming back, but too nice a day not to be flying.

I concur.

There is much dirty laundry to wash in public soon enough, as previous owner is currently on bail pending a trial.

The Wasp itself was sold on eBay approx 18-24 mths ago. There will be no link to give as eBay items only remain on the database for 90days.

I would suggest the OP dissist from chasing info’ that isn’t to be found, and instead take a trip (or contact direct) the museum at Aeroventure, thus….

The aircraft in question is indeed safe and well at Doncaster.
I think, bearing in mind Jack Ruskin’s comment regarding legal matters the OP’s question has been answered so perhaps the mods might like to consider putting this thread to bed?

yes i agree david, but the landlord on the airfeild estate dose not share our sentiments:(
i think i need to be patient for info,
and there seems to be much confustion about such a rare wasp,
david can you remember the e,bay post? or link?
and are there any members who freqwent dunkeswell air feild?
my intrest may seem strange but im attached to the wasp as i lived with it for 1 year and put so much into it.
other info ive found is the names> christon flight aid, and tango x helycopter club,

Very much doubt that ! I seem to recall it for sale on Ebay at some stage.

ive been chaseing up info localy and i was told that the owner got behind with rent so the wasp was carted of to a local scrap yard:(
shurely not??

xt788 i restored in a hanger at dunkeswell, and i fited the windows last thats why i knew,

No it is a different one 🙂

thanks tony, i think this is not the same navy wasp,

I didnt know, I hope they are found innocent, I chipped in a column for it and it was collecting for a damn good cause.

I see Everett Aeros has been sold

well thanks for that info jack ruskin.
thats intresting, im not about to stay clear of it,
standing by for any more info, please oviod hearsay and flannel,

This airframe is the subject of ongoing fraud investigations with CID during it’s time as a fund raising venture. Probably best if you steer well clear imho

Demobbed has it listed as currently being at Aeroventure, Doncaster. Hope that helps!

i see what your saying, forgive me im not clever on computers, and im by far a aviation exspert,

thanks mike, i beleve i put the number in post i reapete xt788 474
