Gloster Javelin. Blunted aileron trailing edges

[T-21]

From the FAW,7 mark onwards these ailerons were fitted to extend the buffet boundary. Does anybody know if the T.3 version had them as difficult to tell from photographs ?

It's some 49 years since I last flew a Javelin, so my memory might be at fault, but I believe the T3 had vortex generators but did not have the thickened aileron trailing edges fitted to the FAW 7 & 8 (and therefore the 9 & 9R)

Thank you NutherA2, very little mention of these in Javelin books. Did you go thru 228OCU at Leeming ?

Did you go thru 228OCU at Leeming ?Yes, October 1960 to February 61; the Vale of York weather was typically horrible all winter.
