-----------------------
The Sea Gladiators on Malta were standard Fleet Air Arm pattern except that they were assembled without arrester hooks, dinghies, or sea markers.
The assembled fighters were subsequently fitted with armour plate behind the pilots’ seats and with variable-pitch three-blade airscrews.
The Gloster Gladiator was the last British biplane fighter, a development of the Gauntlet with an enclosed single seat cockpit, cantilever landing gear and with increased armament.
First flown in 1935, the Gladiator went into service with the RAF in 1936. The Sea Gladiator had 830 hp Bristol Mercury VIIIA engine and a 3 blade fixed pitch propeller.
