VR137 was built in 1947 as the last Wyvern TF1 pre-production aircraft. It was never flown and in 1950 was transferred to the College of Aeronautics at Cranfield as a training aid. In 1963 it was bought by the Historic Aircraft Preservation Society and three years later, in 1966, it was acquired by the Fleet Air Arm Museum.
