Meet Westland Scout / Wasp
The Scout developed from the Saunders-Roe P.531 and became a British Army utility helicopter. Its compact cabin, exposed engine area and skid undercarriage suit its land-based role. The related Wasp shared origins and components but was adapted for naval operations.
The Wasp's wheeled undercarriage and shipboard equipment distinguish it from the Scout. A package containing both should therefore retain separate variant information. Their shared ancestry is useful background, while the cockpit and mission equipment belong to each individual aircraft.

Press, hold and release have different effects
The Scout/Wasp guide describes an autopilot-master interaction that captures stabilised pitch, roll and speed according to mode. Holding the control allows manual input, with release returning to the documented stabilised behaviour. The button's state is consequently part of its meaning, not just its display label.
