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.
