The Firefly T Mk2 was basically an F.1 converted for use as a deck-landing conversion and instrument-flying trainer. The raised rear cockpit was occupied by the instructor and was raised by 12 inches above the normal position. This was to improve the vision by its occupant in landing.
The planes were usually unarmed, although a few carried two 20mm cannon.
The Canadian Navy operated two types of Firefly trainers: The T Mk 1 and the T Mk 2. The T Mk 1 being a two-seat dual control, unarmed, deck landing conversion trainer. The T Mk 2 was the tactical weapons trainer having two 20mm cannons and a synchronised Gyro gunsight in each cockpit.
