X-Plane 10.30+ Supermarine Swift FR-Mk5. The Supermarine Swift was a British single-seat jet fighter of the Royal Air Force (RAF), built by Supermarine during the 1950s. After a protracted development period, the Swift entered service as an interceptor, but, due to a spate of accidents, its service life was short. The FR-Mk5 (modeled here) was a single-seat tactical-reconnaissance aircraft, fitted with a lengthened nose to accommodate three cameras and equipped with a frameless cockpit canopy. It was powered by a Rolls-Royce Avon 114 turbojet engine and armed with two 30-mm Aden cannons. Documentation includes full description plus aircraft credits. By Graham Algeo.
