Wreck of Gloster Gladiator Mk II N5628

Aircraft & Exhibits, 22 APR 1939-25 APR 1940, London, Hangar Three/Four, 72/A/472

The Gloster Gladiator was the RAF's last biplane fighter and the first to feature an enclosed cockpit for the pilot. Deliveries began in 1937, with Gladiators continuing to serve in the early years of the Second World War. However, it had been rendered almost obsolete by newer monoplane designs such as the Hurricane even as it was being introduced. Though often pitted against more formidable foes during the early days of the Second World War, it performed reasonably well in combat.
