Request: Fairey Gannet
#1

I hope this isn't too much of a stretch, but what do you all think of a Fairey Gannet? It looks like a beautiful plane.

Hey, here are 2 GREAT Microsoft Flight Simulator Gannets.

Just wanted to add that these things were equipped with all conventional weapons (or at least the AS.1 was), including up to 36 rockets.

I'm a marine life lover. I think if they had taken 2 of the cockpits and combined them, it'd be the sexiest British plane ever made.

I saw one of these in an Aussie Museum and I think the guy there was saying that it was quite an advanced craft and yes it was also really big. I would love to fly thisd aircraft in IL-2 and whoever sais it is ugly, well look at the Me-321 and 323.
