REQ: Den Helder - Vlootdagen 1980 - long shot

[Antheii]

Hi,

Over 40 years ago (well, 40 years and couple of weeks), I visited the Vlootdagen (Navy Days) in Den Helder, on 21 June 1980.
Being a young and innocent spotter, who only just started the hobby a couple of weeks earlier (this was the 3rd entry in my log book!!), I didn't exactly what to write down yet...

So I still have two question marks from this day

1. An Aeronavale Alouette 3, which I wrote down as "313". I always assumed this to have been "2313", but anybody able to confirm?
2. A Fleet Air Arm Wasp, which I have as "478". I assume this was the code, not part of the registration, but up till now, I have been unable to retrieve more details.

Anybody out there, who is able to help out this in the meantime old, but still innocent, spotter?

Thanks!

the Alou3 seems indeed 2313, while the Wasp is XT434/476
these were on board of FNS Loire and HMS Leander respectively.

those were the days,
cheers
