Airspeed AS.30 Queen Wasp

The Queen Wasp was built to meet an Air Ministry Specification Q.32/25 for a pilotless target aircraft to replace the de Havilland Tiger Moth based de Havilland Queen Bee. Two prototypes were order in May 1936, one to have a wheeled landing gear for use by the Royal Air Force and the other as a floatplane for Royal Navy use for air-firing practice at sea.

The aircraft was a single-engined biplane constructed of wood with sharply-tapered wings and fabric-covered control surfaces. An enclosed cabin with one-seat was provided so the Queen Wasp good be flown manually with the radio control system turned off. The landplane first flew on the 11 June 1937, and the floatplane on the 19 October 1937. The floatplane was successfully catapulted of HMS Pegasus in November 1937. In tests the aircraft was found to be underpowered and only three more aircraft were built and delivered to the Royal Air Force.

Die andere (Airspeed AS.31 ) heeft nooit gevlogen en is hierbij gediskwalificeerd... ( :wink: )
 
My father (Sheridan Hale) said he was at the airport when Larson flew the xxxxx xxxx at Buchanan Field (Concord). He said it took a long time to get off, and Merle flew it around the pattern. One of the pistons was tight and, on downwind, the engine froze. Larson tried to stretch the glide, but didn't make it. The plane crashed, and they ran over to get him out. The landing gears were real strong on the old Taylorcrafts and the plane had buckled in the middle, trapping Larson in the cabin. He said they picked up the tail, unbent it a bit, and Merle climbed out....
