		The Royal Aircaft Establishment firmly believed that a delta wing possessed the correct characteristics for this regime, a belief that probably led to the cancellation of the Miles M.52.
		Fairey had already produced the FD.1 point defence interceptor demonstrator, so had experience of delta wings.
		Fairey further developed the delta concept with the Delta 3, a heavy fighter to meet

		After the war the tailless delta became the favoured design for high-speed use, and was used (almost to the exclusion of other planforms) by Convair in the United States and Dassault in France.
		The primary advantage of the delta wing design is that the wing´s leading edge remains behind the shock wave generated by the nose of the aircraft when flying at supersonic speeds, which is an improvement on traditional wing designs.
		While this is also true of highly swept wings, the delta´s planform carries across the entire aircraft, allowing it to be built much more strongly than a swept wing, where the spar meets the fuselage far in front of the center of gravity.

		To try to retrieve matters the Ministry of Supply issued a specification for a supersonic research aircraft, and Fairey set about meeting this with a delta-winged aircraft designed for investigation into flight and control at transonic and supersonic speeds.
		To improve the pilot's forward view during landing, taxiing and take-off, the cockpit and nose section could be hinged downwards by ten degrees.
		Fairey test-pilot Peter Twiss flew the first FD2, WG774, on its maiden flight on 6 October 1954.

	The Fairey Owners Club
		The idea of the Fairey Huntress was the brainchild of Richard Fairey, son of Sir Richard.
		These centre-plates had to be wound up and down by a thick cable and when the boat was at full speed, a plume of water rose up through the middle of the boat caused by the water pressure around this plate.
		Back at Fairey Marine, it was decided to produce their own 23' cabin boat, Alan Burnard was given the task of designing it, which then became known as the 'Huntress'.
