"In September 1954, 813 embarked with their Wyverns on HMS Albion for carrier-based service in the Mediterranean. The Wyvern soon showed a worrying habit for flameout on catapult launch; the high G forces resulting in fuel starvation. A number of aircraft were lost off Albion's bows and Lt. B. D. Macfarlane made history when he successfully ejected from under water after his aircraft had ditched on launch and been cut in two by the carrier. 813 did not return to Albion until March 1955 when the problems had been resolved..." |

The Sea Fury with the radial piston at 2600 hp. The Sea Fury is faster, 80-90 mph. Reliability was an issue with the Wyvern... turboprops were pretty new then and had problems. |
