Historical Description

The Fairey Gannet is a British carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft powered by a turboprop engine, which served in the Royal Navy (UK) as well as several foreign navies, including Australia, Indonesia, and West Germany. The Gannet entered service in the early 1950s—the first flight took place in 1949—and the aircraft was used until the mid-1970s. The AS1 version ("Type 1") played key roles in patrol operations, anti-submarine warfare, and as a trainer, mainly on aircraft carriers such as HMS Ark Royal and HMS Eagle during the Cold War era.
