Photo request - HMS Antelope Wasp XT788

[Aerodynamik]

Hi all

Bit of a long shot but can anyone help with a photo of Wasp XT788 when it served on HMS Antelope in the early 80's. It's required for a painting project.

I've done the usual internet/Google trawl with no luck.

TIA, Steve

Try the archives at the Fleet Air Arm Museum they may have an image if they have the record or line book

I don't know if this is of use, but I searched under HMS Antelope, so don't know if the helicopter in photo is XT788:

Nope, that helicopter is clearly a Lynx not a Wasp.

So presumably in her later days.

Thanks for your help guys. Bscope, that's the airframe but I'm after a photo of when it was coded 321 which on checking was between 1975 and 79.
