I have photo's of 88 in active service in South Africa taken in 1972.
They are not too good as they were taken with an instamatic, posted in my photo album for 30 years and then scaned into my pc.

Can anyone help unravel the identity of these Wasps ?

Serials 87, 88, 89, 90 (reported as c/ns F.9556-F.9559 but duplicate RN Wasps XS529-XS532) and 95 (reported as c/n F.9757 but duplicates RNZN NZ3903 ?) & 96 also used.

Serials 97 (to be ex RN XT782) & 98 (to be ex RN XT783 - went to Malaysian Navy as M499-05) ordered but not delivered.

I'm sure someone must know what's going on, but I can't work it out !
