Gloster Sea Gladiator II

N5520 Gloster Sea Gladiator II

In 1940 some Royal Navy Sea Gladiators stored in Malta were taken on charge by the RAF for the island’s defence. They became famous as Faith, Hope and Charity, though there were more than three. N5520, which became identified as “Faith” at some point during its active life, was the only survivor — albeit in skeleton form.
