Hawker P.1040 (N7/46)
VP413
(c/n
One of Sydney Camm's most aethestically pleasing designs was the Sea
Hawk. VP413 was the
second prototype of the aircraft
built to spec N7/46 (later identified as the P.1040), and was the
first fully navalized version with
retractable tail hook, etc. The Sea Hawk remained the Royal
Navy's first line fighter until
1960.
