In the summer of 1950, a Gannet made history as the first turboprop-powered plane to land on an aircraft carrier's deck. Production of the AS.1 model, the most widely manufactured variant, commenced in 1954. The Gannet also served in the navies of Australia, West Germany, and Indonesia, with the Royal Navy being the last to retire active examples of this durable naval aircraft.
