The Fairey Gannet a one of a kind warbird! : EAA AirVenture 2014

During its active service, the Fairey Gannet typically operated with three crew members: one pilot and two watchful aerial observers.

The Gannet stood out with its smartly designed internal bomb bay in the fuselage. It was the first British aircraft in Fleet Air Arm service to store all its munitions internally, except for rockets.

My friends uncle was a part of the team that came up with this Cold War Bird..

I'm building her ac2/48th scale model for her.
I'm an ex RAF Engineer and am in awe of the team that got them in the
Thankyou.

Nuclear depth charges. Well, that'll kill a lot of fish.

The Brits can take the simplicity out of anything.

If only I could set up a fund to get her back in the air... She desperately needs a buyer. What'd be really cool is to get her back to the UK where she belongs.

An ugly looking aircraft with a lot of unique tech. Now that's fascinating. I hope it stays airworthy.
