I recall seeing a Sky TV programme about the WASP - 'Historic aircraft ' ?
Seem to remember it belonged to an American pilot, apologies I don't recall his name, and was in the UK ( maybe Middle Wallop ? ) in very nice RN colours - looked immaculate.
The ex-FAA Wasp in the UK is owned/flown by Tim Manna who owns Kennet Aviation based at North Weald, and who also did the recent restoration back to airworthy status of the ex-Falklands UH-1 G-HUEY.
