Wyvern Tapestries
Description: Wyvern in its various forms is important in heraldry, frequently appearing as a mascot of schools and athletic teams (chiefly in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada). It is a popular creature in European literature, mythology and folklore. Today they are often used in fantasy literature and video games. The wyvern in heraldry and folklore is rarely fire-breathing, unlike four-legged dragons.
Description: The Westland Wyvern was a British single-seat carrier-based attack aircraft of the 1950s intended to cover a wide variety of roles. Apart from the cannons, rockets, and bombs usually carried by such aircraft, the Wyvern was unusual in that it could also carry a torpedo long after it ceased being normal armament on other contemporary aircraft. Another unusual feature was its contra-rotating propellers.
