Largest export operator of the Wasp. 3 batches of new build airframes - 6 in 1963, 4 in 1966 and a further 8 in 1973, of which the last two were not delivered. Operated by 22 Flight at Ysterplaat which became 22 Squadron, Maritime Command in 1976. Wasps were withdrawn 1990.
Serial 95 (reported as c/n F.9757 but duplicates RNZN NZ3903 ?) & 96 also used. There have been problems identifying the airframes due to typos creeping into published data complicating the matter. Help sorting out the c/ns appreciated.
