The aircraft was developed for anti-submarine warfare during the early Cold War and became an important part of NATO's maritime defense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gannet was powered by a unique Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba turboprop engine with two coupled gas turbines and contra-rotating propellers. This design offered excellent range and made the aircraft particularly well-suited for long-duration patrol flights over the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crew consisted of a pilot, observer, and radar operator. Depending on the mission, the aircraft could be equipped with torpedoes, depth charges, and other weapons for anti-submarine warfare. A total of 351 units were built, with the AS.1 and the improved AS.4 being among the best-known versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fairey Gannet did not become famous through air combat, but through its important role during the Cold War. With its striking double propellers and distinctive appearance, the aircraft became one of the most recognizable naval aircraft of its time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Airfix model is based on this unique maritime patrol machine and represents an important chapter in British naval aviation of the 1950s and 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct information\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Airfix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eItem number: A11007A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBarcode: \u003cspan\u003e5063129052300\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Glow2B","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58055418249598,"sku":"3129052300","price":74.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/1482\/6878\/files\/AIR-A11007A_01.jpg?v=1789743107","url":"https:\/\/www.deliefhebberij.com\/en\/products\/fairey-gannet-as-1-as-4-export-schemes-a11007a-airfix-1-48","provider":"De Liefhebberij","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
