The Spearfish was a large anti-submarine and naval bombing aircraft powered by a Bristol Centaurus piston engine. Only five were built before the programme was cancelled in favour of the upcoming turboprop Gannet. RN241 was the first of two completed at Fairey's Ringway facility. None of the type survives. From Faireys 60 years ago.

This Firefly FR.4 is having a full throttle test of its Griffon engine, whilst the Fairey engineer stands by with no ear protection - typical of the era! VG962 was then modified at Ringway as a TT.4 target tug, making its first flight as such on 20.10.52.
