Scout - Civil

Westland Scout - Civilian Version

This version of the Westland Scout was based at Thruxton airport where I spent a few hours taking photos at the end of 2009. It has now been re-located to New Zealand.

It was originally owned by the army and painted green but was then sold to the navy for use as a trainer. Here it was painted in navy red-white-blue, all except the rotor head and tail blades which were left in the original army colour to save on costs.

The following video was taken in May 2010 at the Eibergen model flying club in Holland.
