Nothing like those. Imagine a wasp, but the body part just after the head is shiny and black with grey stripes running from head down to the tail. The tail part is not furry, it is shiny black. But where a wasp’s tail goes to a point, this one is square at the end. The wings are similar to a wasp’s. I’ve scoured encyclopaedias (what people had before the internet) and the internet but I can’t find it.
Wasp nest beetles look like what you describe, maybe not on that website. I found out about them as we had a wasps nest in our roof between the tiles and the internal liner. Our loft was "converted" when the house was built so have easy ac ess to it. Most of the wasps exited viathespace in the roof tiles but some took a "wrong rurn" and ended up in the house, about 5-10 a day. One day on inspection
The bells not working so you’ll have to buzz ard.

fowl play the Buzzard isn't a corbid
