FS2004 Fairey Fulmar. The Fairey Fulmar was a British carrier-borne fighter aircraft that served with the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) during the Second World War. A total of 600 were built by Fairey Aviation at its Stockport factory between January 1940 and December 1942. Although its performance was lacking, the Fulmar was a reliable, sturdy aircraft with long range and an effective eight machine gun armament. The Fulmar ended its front line operational career on 8 February 1945. There were two varients built: Mk I - First production variant powered by a 1, 035 hp Rolls-Royce Merlin 8, 250 built; Mk 2 - Updated variant powered by a 1, 300 hp Merlin 30 with a new propeller and the addition of extra equipment, 350 built.
