[About Westland Wyvern TF/S Mk.4]



Wikipedia
The Westland Wyvern was a fighter-attack aircraft operated by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. It is known for being the only fighter with a turboprop engine to participate in actual combat.

The Wyvern was designed according to the specifications for long-range naval fighters issued by the Royal Navy during World War II. It was an orthodox design with Rolls-Royce Eagle engines and a low wing configuration. However, when the Eagle engine could no longer be procured, the Armstrong-Siddeley "Python" turboprop engine was installed. It drove a large double-reversing propeller and produced 3,560 hp.
Because of the time required for engine modifications and adjustments, the Wyvern did not enter unit service until 1953. The model deployed was the TF/S 4.
The Wyvern was deployed to the Suez uprising and deployed for ground attack missions.

However, this was already the era of jet fighters. In addition, the Wyvern's weight had increased due to repeated design changes and engine modifications, making it a less maneuverable fighter. Therefore, all Wyverns were retired in 1958, only five years after they were deployed. Only one prototype, the TF.1, survives.

I have used PlanariaLab's "SP Label Converter" to create a Roundel. Thank you very much.
I have not verified this because I do not have Simple Planes VR. Sorry.
