When it comes to operating distinctive aeroplanes at sea, the Royal Navy have had more than their fair share of aircraft types, but perhaps the strangest looking (and sounding) was the Fairey Gannet.
During the summer of 1950, a Gannet became the first turboprop-powered aircraft in the world to land on the deck of an aircraft carrier, and production deliveries of the most heavily produced AS.1 variant of the aircraft began in 1954.
The Gannet also saw service with the navies of Australia, West Germany and Indonesia, but it was the Royal Navy who were the last to retire ‘in service’ examples of this rugged naval aircraft type.
Turn your hand to building this 1:48 scale aircraft and create a masterpiece on your workbench.
