Forgot to include a helo I spent a joyous period (1-2-73 to 1-8-73) flying as the sole operator. Following the flight on 1-8 the aircraft was put into retirement and subsequently ended up with the Museum Historic Flight.

N8-101 F.9490 841, 891 The RAN acquired two Westland Scouts for hydrographic work in 1963. They arrived in Australia on the merchant vessel "Auckland Star". Delivered 20/03/63. Arrived as WS101 and later Serialed N8-101. Damaged 03/64 during landing. Withdrawn 10/08/77. To Naval Aviation Museum 10/82. Restored to flying condition as 891/VH-NVY. Damaged, rolling on its side in an accident at Schofield Air Show in Nov 1985. The cause of the accident was an unqualified, unlicenced pilot (aircraft engineer) who tried to air taxi it to another spot. Static Display at Australia's Museum of Flight, Nowra NSW as 891.
