Looking for anyone who flew the Attacker during it's Royal Navy service. This is the final type outstanding in my search for people who flew all the FAA fixed-wing types post-war for a new series of books.
Thanks in anticipation!

Never flew one, but 64 years ago took this photo of WP282 (from RNAS Ford I think) at 1954 ROC "Recognition Day" at Biggin Hill.

What a strange looking aeroplane! A straight wing tailwheel jet fighter? And people call this the golden age of British aviation when we led the world...

From the people who made a swept wing twin Avon engined aircraft that couldn't go supersonic in level flight.
