History
The Royal Navy has operated a variety of unique aircraft at sea, but the Fairey Gannet stands out as one of the most unusual in both appearance and sound. In the summer of 1950, a Gannet made history as the first turboprop-powered plane to land on an aircraft carrier's deck. Production of the AS.1 model, the most widely manufactured variant, commenced in 1954.
The Gannet also served in the navies of Australia, West Germany, and Indonesia, with the Royal Navy being the last to retire active examples of this durable naval aircraft. Try your hand at constructing this 1:48 scale model and craft a showpiece for your workbench.
