Fairey Gannet ECM 6 Apr 12, 2011 15:10:49 GMT

I am building an Fairey Gannet ECM 6 and having just started to decal the model using photographs from the aircraft preserved at Duxford when I noticed the sonar dunking bin underneath the aircraft may not be used by this type of Gannet. It appears from photographs that the area may be either covered by a black capping disc or possibly that is the colour of the retained unitl.
Photographs of this mark of Gannet are hard to find and Duxford is a long way from home.
Can anyone help please

I believe that it kept a standard radar 'bin' with either a plain fibreglass (creamy beige) cap originally or a later black finished cap. As far as I am aware the ECM6 still had a radar set and it may well have been an upgrade from the standard Ecko unit.

Hope this helps,
