The Supermarine Attacker was a British
single-seat naval jet fighter built by Supermarine for the Royal
Navy's Fleet
Air Arm (FAA). It was the FAA's first jet
fighter.
Two more variants of the Supermarine Attacker were built for the
FAA. The FB.1 was a fighter-bomber which differed
little from the F 1 except that it was expected to operate as a
ground
attack aircraft. The third, and last, variant of
the Attacker was the FB 2 which introduced a new
Rolls-Royce Nene engine and modifications to its structure. The
Supermarine Attacker now had eight underwing pylons which could
carry two 1,000 lb (454 kg) bombs or eight unguided
rockets. Over 100 Attackers were eventually built for the Fleet Air
Arm.
The de Havilland Sea Venom was a British
postwar carrier-capable jet aircraft developed from the de
Havilland Venom. It served with the Royal
Navy Fleet
Air Arm and with the Royal
Australian Navy. The French
Navy operated the Aquilon, a
version of the Sea Venom FAW.20 licence-built by SNCASE (Sud-Est).
