Hi,
I've got a book with a small 3 view of the Skeeter. I'll scan it and send you link for d/l.

BTW, your photo of the Skeeter should be max 800 wide for the forum, but pics from Airliners.net are copywrited and should only have a url for the link to the photo.

It looks like the Love-Child of a Westland Scout and a Wheelie bin. The kind of child only a mother could love!!

akshully it was a Cierva design, Cierva were bought by Saunders-Roe, and the design became the SARO Skeeter in production.

Later the P-531 design was adapted by Westlands (who had taken over Saro's) to become the Wasp/Scout, so you could say it was the Scouts' mum!

Looking good!
Just one point would be the tail rotor only has two blades, not three.
