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.
