Hi all,

Am I correct in assuming this is a Fairey Gannett canopy please?

Thanks

It surely doesn’t matter how many Gannets were built, since each would have had one of these anyway – remember the fact that the stores would have had several ready in case they were needed so, at the time, they would be less rare than the aircraft they would be fitted to.

As it is I’m trying to remember where I saw several of different designs and/or colour schemes, and most appeared to be in unissued condition, about ten or twelve years ago. Somewhere in the Midlands, I think.

Thanks guys, I thought it was but just wanted to check. I got talking to a family at a local garage sale and this was in their outbuilding.

Is this fairly scarce as only c350 Gannets were ever made? I haven’t bought it yet and was hoping for some advice around how much it is worth. Obviously it is not perfect, and no, this will not end up on ebay either!

Thanks
