The Westland Wyvern production models.

The prototype TF.Mk.I powered by a 3,650hp Rolls-Royce Eagle 22 H-24 engine. This was the finale of the Rolls-Royce pistons that never made it into service because of the advent of the jet age. Max speed was 456mph at 23,000ft and it could lug a warload of torpedo or bombs plus RPs in addition to its four 20mm cannon.

The S.Mk.4 was the belated production variant (via the pre-production TF.Mk.2 powered by the Rolls-Royce Clyde turboprop and the T.Mk.3 two-seat trainer variant of the S.Mk.4) which saw action at Suez. Fitted with the 3,670shp plus 1,180lb thrust Armstrong-Siddeley Python turboprop, this was an unloved and tricky aircraft. Some might say its ugly but for me the Wyvern had a sleek beauty often unmatched in late-war fighters.
The one-off T.Mk.3 was a hybrid, having Mk 2 features and the Python with the original longer nose cowling.

Fantastic addition!
Are You planning to do other British 1950s-1960s fighters as well?

I've added the rather more ugly T.Mk.3 trainer.
I'm probably going to do some more naval types, perhaps the Blackburn Firecrest and its original design. I've got a DH.125 in the works too, at the moment its what takes my fancy. I've always had a soft-spot for the Wyvern so that was one motivation to do it.

Nice work Hood! I'm the same - I've always liked the Wyvern despite the problems it had...

Damn that's fast, even at altitude.
