A swept wing modification of the Attacker, first flown in 1948 and given the name Swift by 1949. It was to perform the first carrier landing by a swept-wing aircraft on 8 November 1950. Used for ground instruction as 7175M from 1955, it was initially preserved at RAF Colerne in 1975, and moved to Cosford in January 1977. It was passed to the FAAM in May 1990 and is currently in store in Cobham Hall, Yeovilton. This photo is copyright © Chris England, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
