EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the power and grace of a Fairey Gannet T.2 aircraft in flight, as it soars through the sky on 29 September 1955. The image, taken by renowned aviation photographer Charles E. Brown, offers a unique glimpse into the postwar era of the Royal Air Force (RAF). The Fairey Gannet T.2, with the registration number WN365, was a twin-engined, carrier-borne anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft that served in the RAF's Fleet Air Arm. Designed and manufactured by Fairey Aviation Company Ltd., the Gannet was a significant advancement in ASW capabilities, featuring advanced radar systems and sonobuoy equipment. During the 1950s, the RAF's Fleet Air Arm was at the forefront of maritime aviation, playing a crucial role in protecting the UK's shores and maintaining its naval supremacy. The Fairey Gannet T.2 was a key component of this effort, providing the RAF with an effective tool for locating and attacking enemy submarines. In this photograph, we see the Gannet in its element, with the sun casting long shadows across the water and the aircraft's wings outstretched, ready to carry it on its next mission. The image is a testament to the skill and bravery of the RAF pilots who flew these aircraft, as they patrolled the skies and waters in defense of their country. Charles E. Brown's photograph is a valuable addition to the RAF Museum's collection, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the important role that the RAF and its aircraft played in the postwar era. The Fairey Gannet T.2 may no longer be in service, but its legacy lives on in the history books and in the memories of those who served with it.
