Gloster Javelin FAW.9R is a premium quality 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle from Kidicraft’s Airfix Collection.
The Javelin was the world’s first twin jet delta-wing fighter. It was designed for long endurance flights to intercept enemy bombers at high altitudes and at high subsonic speeds. Electronic and radar devices gave it an all-weather, night and day, operational capability; it entered RAF service in February 1956. The final operational variant was the F(AW).9R with a 20ft, detachable in-flight refuelling probe high on the starboard side of the forward fuselage – not present on our aircraft. Changes also included fitting an autopilot, and jet-pipes fitted with variable-area nozzles.
