  1. Funny old company, Fairey. They managed to make some absolutely woeful planes as well as some corkers. Like most companies really only Fairey had good planes by accident. Great vid…. again. Keep in up Sgt. :)

  2.  @johnreep263  That’s a good point. One of my favourite planes ever is actually the Fulmar. Not sure why. Probably to do with Pedestal. Most likely it’s because Fulmars were long and slow and outdated but strangely effective when it came down to it. So I guess they remind me of myself:)

  3.  @johnreep263  Wings used to fall off apparently! Otherwise I totally agree! Pretty kites!

  4.  @johnreep263  Yeah, they aren’t ugly kites at all. Bit boxy, maybe but I like them. I think they were rushed into service. If you look at the death rates amongst test pilots for the time you get a feel for just how rushed things were.
