EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Fairey Gannet AS.4 XG631 of the Royal Navy's 831 Naval Air Squadron, circa 1960. Originally built as an AS.4, this historic aircraft underwent conversion to the ECM.6 variant, and was re-delivered to the squadron on May 31, 1957. However, its service life was not long-lived, as it was withdrawn from use and relegated to instructional purposes on June 14, 1966, receiving the registration number A2539. Today, XG631, also known as F9373, is proudly preserved at Davidstow Airfield, a testament to its rich aviation history. The Fairey Gannet, a versatile maritime aircraft, was renowned for its anti-submarine and electronic countermeasures capabilities. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grace and power of this aeronautical marvel during its prime years of service.
