Description
The Fairey Fulmar was a Royal Navy fighter, which entered service in 1940. It was larger and slower than conventional fighters of the time, but was successful and durable.
The Fulmar saw action in the Mediterranean and the Far East, and were used for long-range reconnaissance after being withdrawn from the fighter role.
The Fulmar was the most successful Fleet Air Arm aircraft accounting for 112 victories. It was armed with 8 x 7.7mm machine guns, and could also carry 2 x 250lb bombs.
This example is a Fulmar Mk 1 of 803 Naval Air Squadron 1940.

N1892 served on board HMS Victorious in 1940 and was marked as 6K flying as part of 809 FAA RN Sqd.
Delivered to 809 RN FAA Sqd at RNAS Worthy Down during July 1940.
Not sure where 803 comes into it but these markings are 100% correct as a new Fulmar Kit was just relased and this is the markings it comes in..
