Description
C.1953. A FAIREY FIREFLY TRAINER MARK 2 (VX373) OF THE RAN IN FLIGHT. THE AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN CONVERTED FROM FIREFLY AS 5 ANTI SUBMARINE AIRCRAFT, MOST OBVIOUSLY BY THE ADDITION OF A SECOND COCKPIT. NOTE THAT ONLY ONE 20MM HISPANO CANNNON IS MOUNTED IN THE WING RATHER THAN THE TWO ON THE AS 5. THE FAIRING UNDER THE PORT WING CONTAINS ASH RADAR; THAT UNDER THE STARBOARD WING EXTRA FUEL.
