Fairey Firefly AS.5
This is the only airworthy Firefly in the world. It won
the Grand Champion Post WWII award this year. The Firefly was designed
as a fleet reconnaissance aircraft for the Royal Navy, and the AS.5 was
used in the antisubmarine role. The Firefly's front-line career duty ended
in 1956.

With the Firefly crash at Duxford in 2003, this is the world's only
airworthy example.
