The aircraft is available free from
flyingstations.com
It has been around for quite some time but is a good model.
Flying stations have several aircraft and carriers free on their site.
Their Fairey Swordfish is fabulous.

I remember the Wyvern at Farnboro' in 1954. It was powered by an Armstrong Siddeley Python turbo prop engine that was made near my home at the time. It was the 1st prop aircraft to have an ejection seat fitted. If I remember correctly, the 1st ship to have a squadron of Wyverns was HMS Eagle. I don't think the 'plane was too successful, but saw service in the Mediterranean during the Suez crisis.

Thanks for the info, logjam.
And as Chuck mentioned, not the best carrier training aircraft
