Although you wouldn't guess it, the Queen Wasp was designed as a pilotless target aircraft, with a single-seat enclosed cockpit for ferry flights. The second AS.30, K8888, was a seaplane variant for the Royal Navy. Only a few production aircraft were built. This looks like Hendon and K8887 is known to have taken part in the RAF Display shortly after its first flight on 11 June 1937, featuring in the programme as New Type number 4.
