EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic Fairey Fulmar N1854, the first production version and true prototype of this iconic British naval aircraft. The Fairey Fulmar, a single-engine, two-seat biplane, was designed and built by the Fairey Aviation Company for the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm. N1854 made its first flight on March 2, 1937, and marked the beginning of a significant era in naval aviation history. This aircraft, now on display at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton, is the only known survivor of the type. The Fulmar was primarily used for anti-submarine warfare, reconnaissance, and transport roles during World War II. Its distinctive shape, with its large biplane wings and open cockpit, made it a recognizable sight in the skies above the English Channel. The Fairey Fulmar N1854's preservation is a testament to its historical importance. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the aircraft's intricate details, from its streamlined fuselage to its carefully crafted wings. The image serves as a reminder of the Fulmar's significant contributions to the Royal Navy's aviation capabilities during a time when air power played a crucial role in protecting the nation's shores. The Fulmar's legacy continues to inspire aviation enthusiasts and historians alike, and its presence at the Fleet Air Arm Museum ensures that future generations can learn about this remarkable aircraft and the essential role it played in naval aviation history.
