History

The Fairey Fulmar entered service with the Royal Navy in 1940. Although not as fast or manoeuvrable as some single seat fighters, it offered long range and carried a navigator, making it well suited to naval reconnaissance and fleet defence duties.

Fulmars saw service in the Mediterranean, North Africa, and the Indian Ocean during the early years of the Second World War, playing an important role in carrier based operations before being replaced by more advanced types.
