Summary
| Description |
English: c/n 6071. Built as an FGA.4 in 1954, converted to an FGA.6 in late 1959.
Saw active service with 804, 738 and 736 Naval Air Squadrons, before being allocated maintenance serial A2532 in February 1962 and being used for ground instruction at RNAS Culdrose (HMS Sea Hawk). No longer required after 1976, in 1981 she went on display with the Wales Aircraft Museum at Cardiff Airport, painted as WV906. The museum closed in 1996 and WV826 was moved to Bruntingthorpe for storage, before being exported to Malta in 1999. She has since been beautifully restored and is now painted in the markings of 804 Naval Air Squadron, who had operated from HMS Bulwark during the Suez crisis. They transferred to HMS Ark Royal in 1957 with the tail code changing to ‘O’ as seen here. On display in the Romney hangar at the Malta Aviation Museum, Ta’ Qali, Malta. 27th July 2020 |
