Gloster Javelin. Blunted aileron trailing edges
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)
