Well spotted with the varying number of "L".  I found the Wasp online as a double check but didn't absorb its history or age.
I ran out of time doing a reverse image hunt for the bumble bee so thanks for that info. That pilot was certainly a joy to watch.

One thing about some of the locations I was filming from was not hearing the PA, or mostly that the PA was all echos. I did get a few words about the lady who was on the wing. Yes 'walker' was their term. I briefly caught her demounting toward the end of the routine.

I know that bit of sand rather well. And the rate that the tide shifts - a slow shuffle in that part of the Bay. Near that point is a bit of old forrest with tree stumps that occasionally are exposed.
Thanks: Eric

The Navy Wasp and the Army Scout are virtually the same aircraft.
The Wasp has four castor-wheels, (for moving it in and out of a Frigate's hangar), while the Scout has skids.
The Wasp has flotation canisters just below the rotor head, while the Scout doesn't.
There are a few detail differences regarding load-mounts and locations.

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!
Thanks: THE BLACKBIRD
