Between 1951 and 1955 the Thai Navy (then the RTAF) procured 10 Fairey F.Mk.1 and 2 Mk.2 Firefly. Locally designated as Attacker Type 4. The aircraft on display at this Museum was the former RAN MB401

On display at the Royal Thai Air Force Museum. Designed by H.E. "Charlie" Chaplin, the robust Firefly went on to be produced in numbers, with 1,702 built across all variants. To either side of the radiator scoop are ducts for airflow to the carburettor for the 1,735 hp Griffon IIB driving a Rotol propeller. The wide wheel track that gave good stability for carrier decks, long-range 90 gal. drop tanks and Hispano 20 mm cannon mounts are visible. This ex-FAA MB410 Firefly was meant for the Royal Thai Navy but transferred to the RTAF, which operated ten FR.1s and two T.2 trainers from 1951-54.

Formerly MB410 of the FAA, this is one of twelve Fireflies received by the Royal Thai Air Force in 1951 and serving till 1954, comprising ten FR.1s and two T.2s
