The Fairey Gannet
was a British carrier-borne anti-submarine
(ASW) and airborne early warning (AEW) three-seat mid-wing
monoplane, with double Mamba turbo-prop engines driving
two contra-rotating propellers.
Two variants, the
AS.1 and AS.4 were ASW aircraft, two were
pilot training aircraft, the T.2 and T.5, and one was an AEW
aircraft, the AEW.3.
The prototype first
flew in 1949 and a total of 348 were built
including 44 of the highly modified AEW.3 variant. The
aircraft was exported to Germany, Australia and Indonesia.
The ASW variants were
replaced by helicopters in the early
1960's. The AEW.3, which was designed to replace the AD-3W
Skyraider in Royal Navy service and carried the same radar,
was itself retired in 1978 at which time the exact same radar
was fitted into Shackleton AEW.2 aircraft.
