On 13th September 1989, immediately after take off from Netheravon, Wiltshire the port cyclic servo jack failed causing the nose to pitch up and the tail rotor to strike the ground. The nose then pitched down and the aircraft rotated into the ground. Fortunately, the three passengers and the pilot were uninjured. The helicopter was deemed to be beyond economic repair and stored at Wroughton until allocated for ground instruction at the Army's School of Electrical and Aeronautical Engineering at EGVP. It was later rebuilt to static display standards, and is now a gate-guard for the museum.

Although the Wasp as opposed to Scout would normally be associated with naval operations, the RAN acquired two Scouts for hydrographic work in 1963. For much of their service career they wore non-standard Westland serials WS101 (coded 841 then 891) & WS102 (842 then 892) although also allocated N8-101 & 102. Both were w/o and the Scout displayed here is actually ex-AAC XR603
