Supermarine Swift

The Supermarine Swift was a British single-seat jet fighter of the Royal Air Force (RAF) built by Supermarine during the 1950s. After a protracted development period the Swift entered service as an interceptor but due to a spate of accidents its service life was short. A photo reconnaissance variant resolved some of the Swift's teething problems.
