VR137 was built in 1947 as the last Wyvern TF1 pre-production aircraft. It was never flown and in 1950 was transferred to the College of Aeronautics at Cranfield as a training aid. In 1963 it was bought by the Historic Aircraft Preservation Society and three years later, in 1966, it was acquired by the Fleet Air Arm Museum.

The Wyvern went through a lot of problems. A new canopy with a solid rear part replaced the previous all-clear canopy due to structural issues. This happened 'circa 1954-1955'. VZ748, initially delivered on 24 February 1952, may have been used to test the modification. Airframe scrapped in 1960. Photo from: Westland

The Westland Wyvern was a single-seat carrier-based multi-role strike aircraft built seeing active service in Operation Musketeer during the Suez Crisis. This is the only survivor from the 124 airframes completed and was the last TF1 pre-production aircraft completed but never flown. Now on display in Hall 4 at the Fleet Air Arm Museum.

Although the Wyvern was designed as a turboprop-powered carrier-based strike aircraft, VR137 was built in 1947 at Yeovil as the seventh and last preproduction TF.Mk.1. It was the sole one fitted with a 2,690 hp Rolls-Royce Eagle 22 24-cylinder sleeve valve flat-H piston engine, but was never flown. Of the 127 built, this is the only survivor
