A 1954 British built Fairey Gannet T.5 in Royal Navy colors seen demoing at Airventure Oshkosh 2014

This aircraft is a specialized trainer version of the carrier-based anti-submarine warfare aircraft used by the Royal Navy. This specific airframe, registered as XT752 (civilian registration N752XT), is notable as the world's last flying Fairey Gannet and the oldest turboprop aircraft still in operation

Currently owned and maintained by volunteers at the Lightning T5 Group. Sadly, XS458 no longer flies but does perform engine runups and high speed taxi runs for spectators during events at the Cranfield Airport in the United Kingdom
