Gannet Down...

[Rattler]

Thought you all might like a little read. I have this magazine, and found this article whilst trolling about the internet tonight. Good story. The Gannet is one of those horrible planes that is so ugly as to be beautiful, in its own way. I need to find a good model of this one - such interesting lines...

Good read m8, thanks. By all acounts all three were lucky to get out successfully from a Gannet, and the 2 crew with broken arms appear to have escaped more serious injury being caused by the stabilisers.

I wonder if current aircrew are told to avoid visiting pubs following trauma, just in case it affects medical treatment lol.

It is a very distinctive aircraft isn't it. Functional, limited effort for looks due to being built around the engines? perhaps
