Supermarine 535 Swift
This heavily touched up and rather poor
photograph probably depicts an early prototype Swift.
The aircraft was never an outstanding
success and had been ordered as kind of a back-up to the
Hawker
Hunter. A series of accidents saw it grounded in
1950. It was eventually used in
some
quantities as a reconnaissance, rather than a fighter
aircraft. The last active flights by Swifts
in the
RAF were made in 1961.
