Navy Wings associate Wasp in the static at the Royal International Air Tattoo, RIAT 2023, RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire: the world's greatest military airshow and a must every year for any UK aviation enthusiast at least. The naval twin of skid-equipped Army Air Corps Scouts, Wasps used to be a familiar sight around Royal Navy Leander class frigates (this one wears the markings of HMS Aurora's assigned Wasp) and the engine's angry buzz fitted its name well.
