Aviation Historian 41 / J.Ford - The case for the Scimitar

In the company of the Fairey Gannet AEW.3s with which the type would co-operate during anti-shipping sorties, Scimitar XD235/“149/R” has its wings folded while preparing for a display at Yeovilton in the early 1960s.

On 7th July 1977 No. 849 Squadron, one of the Royal Navy's Iew remaining fixed-wing units, celebrated 25 years of continuous commission. Its task throughout this period has been airborne early warning, initially flying Douglas Skyraider AEW.1s and then, since February 1960, Fairey Gannet AEW.3s. Three of the squadron's current Gannets are shown in the accompanying photo - two of them from 849's base at R.A.F. Lossiemouth and the third from "8" Flight which embarks in H.M.S. "Ark Royal".

Big aeroplane, (comparatively) small carrier - a pair of Scimitars stand on the prow of HMS Eagle in 1968, alongside a Blackburn Buccaneer S.1 and a Fairey Gannet AEW.3, with Sea Vixens ranged aft. Even the largest of the Royal Navy’s carriers had shorter flight decks than those of their "small” Essex-class American counterparts.
Unknown to the Rhodesians, HMS Eagle was stationed off the coast of Tanzania in late November 1965. Seen here aboard Eagle in 1968 are Supermarine Scimitars, Blackburn Buccaneers, a Fairey Gannet AEW.3, de Havilland Sea Vixens and a Westland Wessex.

Following restoration to flying condition at RNAS Culdrose, where Brian Halsey’s photograph (below) was taken, it made a successful test flight on February 4, 1982 and departed on February 15, piloted by Lt Cdr Ken Lamprey and Lt Cdr Phil Howard of the Royal Navy. It was flying to Texas via Lossiemouth, Ice­land, Greenland, Canada and down through the USA.

The vast Gosport helicopter repair yard - Europe’s biggest - was adorned for the day by a splendid collection of static historic types gathered together by Fleetlands Museum curator Graham Cooper. Exhibits included the Gannet, Hawker Sea Hawk WV911 and Fairey Swordfish NF389 from the HMS Daedalus historic store at nearby Lee-on-Solent, plus further machines from the RAF, FAA and Science Museums, and the Fleetlands Museum’s own superbly-restored Sea Vixen XJ841.

The sequence of nine cine frames above shows a chilling incident involving a 849D Flt Gannet piloted by a Lt Jackson. The aircraft is seen going overboard off the port forward catapult on Eagle. The Gannet crew stayed in the aircraft until the carrier had passed over them. All three escaped and were picked up, none the worse except for minor injuries.
