WEB SITES

William Daysh's 49ers Reunion Web Site, for RN Aircraft Artificers, includes a good number of piccies of Gannets in action in the galleries.
Fleet Air Arm Association of Australia - Fairey Gannet.
Paul Nann's excellent picture collection includes several Gannets.

BOOKS

Gannet by Brian Fiddler; published by Picton Publishing (Chippenham) Ltd.; ISBN 0 948251 46 8. Brief development and service history, but mostly this book is dedicated to listing the squadrons that operated the Gannet (including RAAN and Indonesian examples), with lots of monochrome pictures. Finishes with many annotated pictures of the cockpit, closeup pictures, scale plans and profile drawings for modellers. Worth getting hold of.
