The last aircraft
produced by the Gloster Aircraft Company,
the Javelin was designed in competition with the De Havilland
DH110 as the RAF's next high performance night fighter.
The prototype first
flew in 1951 and protracted flight testing
took place until 1956 when the first production examples were
delivered. Even then development continued apace and small
numbers of various models were produced until the definitive
FAW.7 variant was produced.
The FAW.7 was the
first variant to actually meet the design
specification, but even this was superseded in production
by the FAW.8 in a short time. FAW.7's were converted to
FAW.8 configuration and re-designated FAW.9s.
A number of more sophisticated
variants were proposed,
including a supersonic "thin-wing" Javelin, but these came
to nought. 435 airframes were produced in total, and the last
example was withdrawn from operational service in 1968.
We offer three CD's for the Gloster Javelin, covering all
models of the Javelin in RAF service. Each CD contains three
pilot's
flight manuals (titled Pilot's Notes) for the Javelin, plus
the performance
data manual aplicable to several Javelin
marks. Each CD has been scanned from the original
flight
manuals and retains any colour pages.
