THE WESTLAND SCOUT
The Westland Scout entered service with the Army Air Corps in 1963 and was operational until the mid 1990’s. It was primarily used as a multi-role tactical aircraft. When armoured as a light attack helicopter it carried either two skid mounted forward firing machine gun packs, or a machine gun mounted in the rear cabin. It was also equipped to fire four wire guided SS11 anti-tank missiles, rockets or flares. It could be configured to seat six people or to carry stretchers in the casualty evacuation role. It was used extensively wherever the British Army were based from Hong Kong to Belize, from Northern Ireland to the Falklands
THE WESTLAND WASP
The Westland Wasp entered service with the Royal Navy in 1964 and was still operational in the New Zealand Navy until as late as 1998. It was used by a variety of Navies throughout the world and saw service in the Falklands and as recently as the first gulf war. It was designed to carry torpedoes in the anti-submarine role, but was also fitted with the WE177 nuclear depth charge that was capable of destroying submerged submarines within a 20 mile radius. It could also be used in an anti ship role carrying missiles
