She was a great machine Mr W....would out perform any similar mk at the time....shorter take off run, major improvement in the climb...speed to spare....and it looks good to.
Did they ever do anything more with it?

The time they where playing around Jets and lost interest in the Spitfire , another base type or lead was the Spiteful , course that went the same way and with the war ending went on the scrap heap .

Its a shame....who knows, they may have ended up hanging a turboprop on it. The only other contra prop brits i know of are the Shack, and the Gannet....they both look good.

[Ian Warren]

And its funny to think the Shack lasted well into the late 1970s and was talk about putting them back in service for the Falklands War .

The Wyrvern was a turbo prop contra, a bit of a handful in FS though.
