I quite agree - I've never flown a Scout but the Wasp was a joy to fly.
Pity the Pusser kept adding more and more bits on to it until you could hardly get off the deck.
And the less said about the reliability of the Nimbus the better - it let me down a few times; unexpected arrivals in ploughed fields and even a swim on dark night - good job the water was warm!
I don't think Westlands can claim any credit for it's amazing handling, the basic clever ideas all came from Saunders Roe.
