On 19th September 1949, the prototype Gannet performed its maiden flight from Aldermaston and further testing of the type took place at the Fairey facility at White Waltham. Both these places are in Berkshire and so it is fitting that this old bird is on display at this very friendly and interesting museum. Well worth your support if in the area.
