The Fairey Delta FD2 at the RAF Museum, Cosford, 8 July 2020. It was the first aircraft in the world to reach and exceed 1,000mph when it broke the world air speed record in 1955 by reaching 1,132 mph. The attempt was totally on the initiative of Fairy and had no support whatsoever from the government. The achievement stunned the USA and France which reconsidered their fighter designs as a result (the Mirage was said to be inspired by the FD 2). Unfortunately, Fairey's proposed development of the FD 2 as a fighter - the FD 3 - was never built as the government saw no future in manned fighters at the time! The infamous1957 Defence Review thought all future wars would be fought by guided missiles. As a result, Fairey built no more aircraft.

Fairey FD2 WG777 at the RAF Museum, Cosford. This is the second of two FD2s built in the 1950s for research into flight and control at transonic and supersonic speeds. The FD2, piloted by Peter Twiss, set a new World Air Speed Record of 1132mph (1820kph) on 10 March 1956. This made the FD2 the first aircraft to exceed 1000mph in level flight and broke the F-100 Super Sabre's existing record by over 300mph.

Plausible that the rear spoiler does make a difference at a trackday, where this shot was taken.

WG777, one of two units bult by Fairey to investigate into flight and control at trans and supersonic speeds. The type was the first plane to exceed 1000 mph. Sadly in these shots we cannot appreciate the drooped nose position adapted for landings. On display at RAF Museum Cosford,
