Fairey test-pilot Peter Twiss flew the first FD2, WG774, on its maiden flight on 6 October 1954. On the 10 March 1956 an attempt was made on the World Air Speed Record, which Twiss broke by more than 483kph (300mph). The new record was 1820kph (1132mph) – quite an achievement considering the old record had only been set the previous year by an American F100 Super Sabre.
This aircraft is the second of only two FD2s built.
