Historical information about the Wyvern S.4

The Westland Wyvern S.4 was a carrier-based strike-fighter aircraft of the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom. It was used by the Royal Navy during the Cold War, mainly between 1953 and 1958. Its most famous period of operation was the intervention during the Suez Crisis in 1956, where Wyverns carried out strikes on ground targets and provided support for allied forces. The uniqueness of this design lay in its use of a turboprop engine and its distinctive silhouette with large propeller spinners.
