Fairey Gannet

The carrier borne Fairey Gannet, used primarily in submarine detection, went into production in 1953, hence the attention in the Navy press at the time. Around 350 had been built by 1959, mainly for the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. A number have survived, in the UK, Germany, Australia and elsewhere.

These are from The Navy magazine, December 1952 and May 1953.
