UK's only FAW.1 on display at RAFM Cosford. Gloster's last fighter was designed as RAF's first all-weather interceptor, entering frontline service in 1956 with No. 46 Sqn. at RAF Odiham. The FAW.1 was powered by a pair of Armstrong-Siddeley Sapphire Sa.6 10201 and 10301 engines of 36.9 kN thrust each that required a cartridge starter. The aircraft was fitted with the AI.17 radar and 30mm cannon. The initial production run of 40 FAW.1s also served as test platforms. A total of 435 Javelins were built and served in seventeen RAF squadrons plus OCUs, many being converted to different marks.

This picture is in one of my late dad's log books when he was a pilot on 64 Sqn. He is flying the Javelin FAW9 XH707 / F over Malaysia with a 45 Sqn Canberra B15 and a 20 Sqn Hunter FGA9 coded A. It was also used as a front cover from the RAF publication 'Air Clues' and has the following caption. FAR EAST TRIO. Three 'RAF types' of the Far East Air Force are seen on a special formation flight along the Malaysian coast. They are a Javelin of No 64 Squadron, whose duties at Tengah have been taken over by the Mk 6 Lightnings of No 74 Sqn ; a Canberra of No 45 Sqn ; and a Hunter of No 20 Sqn.

64 Squadron taken at RAF Tengah in Singapore. Flown by my late father when taxing onto stand the starboard undercarriage collapsed. This is from a cutting from the RAF Air Clues magazine which my Dad added to his log book. ' After completing a normal landing in a Javelin the pilot shut down the port engine, set the starboard at 50% rpm and taxied to the dispersal area. As he turned the aircraft into dispersal, the starboard main undercarriage collapsed.' This is my Dad's comment on the back of this photo 'Taxing at 10kts one sunny day.........' To RAF 09Dec58 as an FAW7. SOC Tengah 01May1968.

From my late fathers collection. My Dad was flying one of these aircraft. 50th Anniversary fly past of 64 Squadron Royal Air Force at RAF Tengah in Singapore back in July 1966.

When Rhodesia unilaterally declared independence from the UK on 11 November 1965, Rhodesia's young neighbour, Zambia, felt threathened as Rhodesia had retained the majority of the Central African Federation's fighting power in the shape of Canberras and Hunters. As a response to Zambia's plea for help, the RAF sent Javelins from 29 Sqd then based in Cyprus to police Zambian air space from Ndola in the Copperbelt Province. XH892 was one of the aircraft deployed to Ndola during 1966. One of the Javelins that was deployed was written off and ended up in a playground in Ndola.
