Naval strike fighter control stick up for auction at Fernhurst
A control stick from a supermarine Scimitar naval strike fighter during 1963-1964 is for sale at John Nicholson’s Saturday antique and general auction.
The Scimitar was a single-seat naval strike aircraft designed and produced by the British aircraft manufacturer Supermarine. Operated exclusively by the Royal Navy’s Fleet air arm, it was the final aircraft to be entirely designed and manufactured by Supermarine.
The Fernhurst auctioneers said: “This is a piece of naval history for any enthusiast.”
The estimate is £400-600 from the auction on Saturday, January 31.
