The Gannet AS.4, an evolution of the earlier AS.1 variant, featured improved avionics and a more powerful engine, enhancing its capabilities in maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine operations. In circa 1959, the Gannet AS.4 was prominently operated by the 849 Naval Air Squadron, serving with the HQ training flight at Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose. This unit was responsible for training and maintaining operational readiness for naval aviation crews specializing in anti-submarine warfare.During its service, the Gannet AS.4 was deployed in various roles, including anti-submarine patrols and maritime reconnaissance. Its mission profile included monitoring and protecting naval shipping lanes, conducting anti-submarine operations in the North Atlantic, and participating in joint exercises with other NATO forces. The aircraft's distinctive design, with its twin-engine and folding wings, allowed it to operate efficiently from the Royal Navy's carriers and shore-based facilities. The Gannet’s advanced radar and sonar systems made it a critical asset in detecting and tracking potential submarine threats during the Cold War.The Gannet AS.4's service extended beyond training, with its contributions being vital during periods of heightened maritime tension. Although it did not engage directly in combat, its presence ensured that naval forces were well-prepared to respond to potential submarine threats and maintain maritime security. The aircraft's role in training and operational readiness was essential in maintaining the Royal Navy's effectiveness in anti-submarine warfare and contributing to the broader defense posture of the United Kingdom and its allies.This 1:48 scale model captures the detailed design and historical significance of this important maritime patrol aircraft. Ideal for collectors and aviation enthusiasts, this replica highlights the Gannet’s role in anti-submarine warfare and its contributions to naval aviation history. Add this exquisite piece to your collection to commemorate the legacy of the Fairey Gannet and its service with the Royal Navy.PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS:We gladly accept paypal.Tracking info is free upon request.SHIPPING INFO:We do combine shipping cost for two or more items purchased.
