Description

The Wyvern was a British naval single-seat fighter, fighter and torpedo aircraft with a turboprop engine developed by Westland Aircraft Ltd. in the immediate post-war period. After initial problems with the development and installation of the powerplant (a total of three engine types were tried, which were not otherwise used on any other aircraft), the Wyvern entered regular service in the early 1950s. A squadron of aircraft armed with this type took part in the British-French intervention during the Suez Crisis in November 1956. The Wyvern symbolizes the transition period between piston-engined and jet-engined aircraft.
