Historical model – Fairey Gannet

The Fairey Gannet is a British carrier-based multirole aircraft – including anti-submarine warfare – used by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. The aircraft served during the Cold War, from the 1950s until the early 1970s, and was also operated by the navies of Australia, Germany, and Indonesia. The variant with late type wheels was commonly found during the latter period of service in the UK, including on Majestic and Centaur class aircraft carriers.
