	Westland Wyvern S.4 Review by Steven Eisenman (Classic Airframes 1/48)
		During the Suez Crisis of 1956, Wyverns engaged in 82 missions, both in the fighter-bomber and reconnaissance roles.
		For the Wyvern, there are a pair of auxiliary tanks and 8 rockets on rails with separate fins.
		Wyverns are shown with the "over and under" rocket arrangement on zero length stubs.

		It was the last fixed wing Westland aircraft to serve with the FAA as well.
		Finally, one rather interesting little tidbit, the Wyvern was the first aircraft to perform an underwater ejection.
		For all this, though, the service life of the Wyvern was short, serving with only four front-line squadrons from 1953 to 1957, with only one squadron actually seeing combat in the Suez Crisis of 1956.

		The origins of the Wyvern lie in the observation by the admiralty of the devastating results torpedo equipped Bristol Beaufighters were achieving in northern waters during world war two.
		The Wyvern prototype was first flown by Harold Penrose in 1946, and was found to have a very respectable performance with a top speed of 456 mph, despite being considerably heavier than a DC3 transport plane.
		Unfortunately the teething problems which were the bane of the Wyverns existence began to manifest themselves, arising from the enormous engine and propellor overhang causing bending of the propellor shaft and associated problems.

	Classic Airframes 1/48 Westland Wyvern, previewed by Tom Cleaver
		The Westland Wyvern was conceived to a similar operational requirement to that which resulted in the Douglas Skyraider - a single-seat, long-range torpedo-strike-reconnaissance aircraft to be operated from the latest British fleet carriers.
		Unfortunately for the Wyvern, Their Lordships of the Admiralty decided to power it with the Armstrong-Siddeley Python rather than the Rolls-Royce Clyde, an engine that would turn out to be far more amendable to the requirements of deck operations than the Python.
		The Wyvern has been a favorite of mine ever since as a wee young aeronut I picked up “The Aircraft of the World” by William Green and Gordon Swanborough at the local library.

	Trumpeter 1/48 Westland Wyvern S.4
		The Wyvern S.4 would be the only turboprop strike fighter to emerge from this post-war development era.
		The Wyvern S.4 was distinctive with its counter-rotating propellers, the answer at that time to translating that much shaft horsepower into propeller thrust without huge prop blades.
		The Trumpeter Wyvern S.4 kit was a bit of a surprise when it was announced last year.

	Unreal Aircraft - Post-WW2 British aircraft gallery
		The Westland Wyvern was a British single-seater strike aircraft.
		The first piston-engined Wyvern (TS371) took to the air on 12 Dec 1946 with Harold Penrose at the controls.
		So Westland was forced to use the older Python engine of 3,760 HP which provided a top speed of 616 kmh and a range of 1455 km.

	Trumpeter 1/72 Westland Wyvern S.4
		While Classic Airframes had released its own Wyvern S.4 in 1/48 scale, here is an opportunity for the 1/72 scale community to have a mainstream production of this unique aircraft.
		The kit is molded in Trumpeter standard light gray styrene and is presented on fives trees, plus a single tree of clear parts.

	Trumpeter Wyvern S.4
		While the prototype Wyvern included the Eagle engine it was quickly replaced with the Rolls-Royce Clyde twin spooled turboprop unit that showed great promise.
		The sheet is divided into four sections, a set of standard service stencils and warning markings that are common to all Wyvern S.4s along with the individual markings for three separate aircraft.
		This is not the first time the Wyvern has been presented to the modeling community, previously there have been two vacuform kits followed by a relatively nice offering from Classic Airframes but this time I think we have one of the best possible kits available to us.

	Westland Wyvern
		The Westland Wyvern began life as a 'Torpedo Fighter', intended to operate as daylight fighter and torpedo bomber.
		The Wyvern fitted in the trend that fighter-bombers replaced light and medium bombers, and torpedoes had already been carried by the Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-5/U14 and the Blackburn Firebrand.
		The Wyvern began life with specification N.11/44, issued in November 1944; this called for a fighter with a Rolls-Royce Eagle piston engine, but capable of accepting a turboprop; carrier-capable and armed with four 20-mm cannon, eight rockets, and three 450 kg bombs, a 825 kg mine or a 20-in torpedo.

		The wyvern was a mythical monster with the front legs of a dragon and the barbed tail of a snake and, of course, it was one mean creature!
		The Westland Wyvern was the last fixed-wing aircraft design from the Westland Aircraft Co. and was one of the last prop-driven fighters.
		The Wyvern is a fairly complex aircraft in its all-out scale form.

		/48 Dynavector Westland Wyvern S4 by Darius Aibara
		The Wyvern's conception was at Yeovil in 1944, however a prolonged gestation involving the use of several engine designs meant that operational status was achieved only in 1953 when Mo. 813 Squadron FAA replaced its Blackburn Firebrand TF Mk 5s with Wyvern S Mk 4s at RNAS Ford.
		Two aircraft were lost to ground fire but both pilots ejected and were rescued.

	Westland History
		During WWII, Westland also produced Spitfires and Seafires to assist Vickers-Supermarine, which had become a priority target for the Luftwaffe KG missions.
		This same year saw the last fixed wing design (the Wyvern) and Westland had produced about 6000 aircraft before it decided to concentrate on excellence in rotary wing airframes.
		Westland acquired Bristol Helicopters, Fairey Aviation and Saunders-Roe to transform itself into Westland Helicopters with plants at Yeovil, Weston-super-Mare, Eastleigh and Hayes.

	Wyvern Split Spinner Set Review (Airwaves 1/48)
		Classic Airframes' recent 1/48 scale Westland Wyvern comes with a one-piece spinner that has both rows of propeller blades lined up behind each other.
		While this is certainly a possible configuration, it might be argued that a staggered configuration would show off the eight big propeller blades to better effect.
		Airwaves' 1/48 scale Wyvern "Split" Spinner is a handy accessory that will lend extra character to the beefy Classic Airframes kit.

		This was the Dynavector model: it is painted by hand without an airbrush (because I haven't got the patience to try one!) and was probably the easiest vac-form model I had ever encountered up to that point.
		The Wyvern is in the colors of a plane launched from HMS EAGLE during the rather silly attack on Alexandria during the 1956 Suez crisis.
		Two Wyverns were shot down by Egyptian ground fire, although both the pilots ejected safely

	AeroScale :: Westland Wyvern by Stefan Ericsson
		The Westland Wyvern is such an intriguing aircraft.
		The Wyvern has that sinister "no-nonsense, we mean business" purposeful look, simply put: an aircraft with an attitude!
		Note that only early versions of the Wyvern could carry a torpedo, the S.4 could, but very rarely did.

		The Westland W.34 Wyvern was a single-seat carrier-based attack aircraft of the 1950s intended to cover a wide variety of roles.
		Apart from the cannons, rockets, and bombs usually carried by such aircraft, the Wyvern was unusual in that it could also carry a torpedo.
		In fact, suitable turboprops such as the Rolls-Royce Clyde and Armstrong-Siddeley Python became available sooner than the Eagle was perfected, and the Python was used on the 90 production examples instead.

	Cutting Edge 48275: Wyvern, reviewed by Scott Van Aken
		This is the first aftermarket sheet I know about that has been done for the Westland Wyvern.
		It was brought out to complement the recent Classic Airframes 1/48 Wyvern, but I bet it will also work on the Dynavector multi-media kit, for those of you who have this one in your stash.
		The instructions include a number of interesting bits of information about the Wyvern such as the camera windows being normally covered by a metal plate except when going on a recce mission.

		This airplane is a long distance ship airplane developed according to specification N.11/44 that Royal navy demanded in 1944.
		This was the last fixed-wing aircraft at the westland company, and It was the first ship airplane in the world equipped with the turboprop engine.
		However, the go into commission period was short due to the mistake of the design and the slump of the engine.
