Wyvern!

That's a rarity!

And, as I am sure Carlos, who has an encyclopedic knowledge of aviation history, knows, it is Wyvern S.4 WP337, 378/J of 830 Naval Air Squadron of the HMS Eagle (Tail Code "J") in the special markings for the Suez operation (Operation MUSKETEER) in November-December 1956.

I am glad to see the Wyvern appearing in your line up, Bruno. It is one of the most interesting 1950s transition aircraft, in my opinion, along with the Firebrand, the Douglas AD/A-1, and the Martin AM Mauler.

Thanks, Guys
and at least now I know the exact number I need to put underneath the yellow and black stripes on the wings.

Only slight progress today. More tomorrow !?!
slight adjustments needed (cockpit, wing root intake)

Thanks, Bruno, for designing this "Beast"
I second Don about that planes.
Really a plane with an a short operational life.

The Beast in action.

Indeed a very short career.
There will not be many versions but for once that's exactly what I need.
The main structure is finished. The rather intricate landing gear will be for tomorrow, I guess.
