* The Westland company of the UK originally got into the helicopter business by license-building American Sikorsky-designed machines. Westland then moved on to design their own types, first obtaining a modest success with the "Scout/Wasp" light helicopter, and then achieving much greater success with the "Lynx" army and navy helicopter. This document provides a history and description of the Scout/Wasp and Lynx.
