The Westland Wyvern was a British single-seat carrier-based multi-role strike aircraft built by Westland Aircraft and that served in the 1950s, seeing active service in the 1956 Suez Crisis. Production Wyverns were powered by a turboprop engine driving large and distinctive contra-rotating propellers and was able to carry an aerial torpedo.
