One of the first WWII British, carrier-launched, long-range, anti-submarine/shipping attack aircraft, the two seater, Fairey Firefly was one of the most heavily armed naval strike aircraft its era.
With its all-metal alloy construction and fold up wings, it set a new precedent for maritime patrol and interception and could carry a wide range of under wing armament including 500lb bombs and rockets.
The pilot and observer sat isolated in their own operational positions with both cockpits featuring explosive bolt, fully jettisonable canopies.
