Fairey Gannet AEW3, an early warning aircraft flown of British aircraft carriers in the 1960s and 1970s is being restored at the museum
It’s good to see that some more #NAMrestoration work has been carried out on #Gannet #XP226 – under wing surfaces painted & more markings applied

The sun trying to break through above the Swift aircraft & the Gannet aircraft in the background.
There was not much blue sky evident when we took this picture this morning of #Swift #WK277 & #Gannet #XP226 in the background.

Following on from the #Gannet #XP226 post yesterday here are some photos from the #NAMarchive that show the wings being unfolded on the aircraft when it arrived at the museum in November 1983.

Thank you for calling in & for posting the photo of #XP226 There's still some work to do on the underside as part of this #NAMspruceUp project, but that's something for the New Year when it warms up again!
Have a safe journey #EveryNAMvisitCounts
