Built by Blackburn Aircraft in August 1943 and operated from aircraft carriers with 836 Squadron until November 1944. Registered to Fairey Aviation of Hayes, Middlesex from 1947 to 1949 which probably explains how it escaped the scrap heap. Became an air show favorite for generations of enthusiasts and still maintained airworthy into the 21st century. This photo was added on 30 October 2021, and has since been viewed 417 times. |
