The Westland Scout is a British utility light helicopter that entered service in 1963. The Westland Scout is powered by a Rolls-RoyceNimbusMk 101 or Mk 102 turboshaft providing a top speed of 211 km and a range of 505 km. The
Westland Scout carries a crew of one or two and up to three or four passengers or one litter or freight in the rear of the cabin or 1500 lbs of freight carried as a slung load. Two hard points fitted to the sides of the fuselage enable up to 540 lbs of disposable stores to be carried such as 20 mm cannon or machine-gun pods. A naval version is known as the Westland Wasp.
