Flying Failures - Supermarine Swift
Hello all! :D
Coming as the result of an incredibly short sighted government policy following the end of World War II, the Supermarine Swift was essentially a rapidly thrown together response to the fact that Britain needed new fighters and bombers to counter the emerging threat of the Soviet Union, with the Hawker Hunter being positioned as the flagship, while the Swift would provide backup in case the Hunter failed to reach its goals.
However, the Swift proved to be a machine that was practically unflyable, with a persistent problem of abrupt pitching up making this exceptionally flawed aircraft a killer, one that saw its intended role as an RAF interceptor be curtailed within days of its service entry, though it did find later promise in the position of a low-level recon fighter.
