Burkey Pilot	posted 05-24- 11:10 AM Is anybody planning to make some post '45 prop driven aircraft. I'd love to dogfight with the bearcat and this beauty: http://members.surfline2000.com/biichome/AVIO/PLANES/ENGLAND/PLANES/Wyvern.htm A Westland Wyvern, possibly named after a mythical Welsh dragon?. Anyways, this is the best internet based image i could find, but I've seen photos in print and it really is a terrific looking plane. IP: Logged

Burkey Pilot	posted 05-24- 12:54 PM Is the model in the link a high mark or something biggles? I read it was on the drawing board in 1944. It was also involved in the Suez crisis. IP: Logged
Burkey Pilot	posted 05-24- 12:55 PM Ah, I see what you mean Psi! Guess you should find one yourself then! IP: Logged
Biggles3 Pilot	posted 05-24- 01:00 PM No u see the piston engine version(which actully looked like an aircraft ) was on the drawing bourd in 1944 and its may well hav surved in the Suez crisis but not the TURBO PROO version seen here, the TP gave the wyvern a new leese of life and gave it sparkleing performance for an attack aircraft( note it was not realy a fighter and in a dogfight between a p51 and the that the 51 would win) although it still had guns so i could be used if needed.
