Скачать или смотреть Lost for 70 Years on an Abandoned Island — Wyvern S.4 Restoration | Rare Royal Navy Aircraft

A complete, real-world restoration of a Westland Wyvern S.4, one of the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm’s rarest post-war strike aircraft.

This project follows the full hands-on process — from heavy corrosion and missing panels to structural repair, full repaint, interior rebuild, and dry testing.
No shortcuts. No cinematic tricks. Just real workshop procedures, step by step.

The Wyvern S.4 was a unique turboprop-powered naval aircraft, and very few survive today. This restoration preserves its original geometry, heavy naval construction, and period-correct finish, respecting history rather than reinventing it.

🎥 What you’ll see in this video:

Severe corrosion repair and metal reconstruction

Real cutting, clamping, riveting, and structural fixes

Full new Fleet Air Arm color spray (real multi-coat process)

Interior cockpit rebuild and instrument installation

Dry test of controls with no power or hydraulics

Final inspection and preservation-ready finish

This is not a “make it shiny” rebuild — it’s a true aircraft restoration, done the right way.

If you enjoy realistic restorations, historic aircraft, and detailed craftsmanship, this video is for you.
