REPAINT from Andreas Fey
including complete aircraft designed by
Buck Danny
The Armstrong-Withworth "Seahawk" was
designed for the Royal Navy as maritime
combat aircraft in the mid 1940s. Maiden
flight of an unarmed testcraft (VP 401)
took place at Boscombe Down on 2nd
september 1947. As a result of the
following trials at Farnborough, the
engine outlets were redesigned in order
to cope with extensive heating of the
rear fuselage and vibrations. A total of
502 aircraft left factory lines before
the end of production in 1956. Amongst
Operators of the type were the Royal Navy,
Royal Dutch Navy and Indian Navy, who
operated the Seahawk from aircraft
carriers, and of the German Marineflieger.
