It was the first Australian-designed aircraft to enter series production. It was also the first Australian-designed and -built aircraft to be taken on strength by the Royal Australian Air Force. The Gannet was a strut-braced, high-wing monoplane of conventional design, with twin engines mounted in nacelles on the wings. The undercarriage was of fixed, tailwheel configuration with divided main units. The wings were of wooden construction, skinned in plywood, and the fuselage was built from welded steel and covered in fabric. The prototype Gannet underwent flight testing in October 1935, and was destroyed in a crash shortly thereafter. The pilot and passengers perished in the ensuing fire, but despite this, the Gannet entered series production. The type was operated by Butler Air Transport between Sydney and Broken Hill and at least one flew with Ansett Airways in 1943. RAAF Gannets saw service as survey aircraft between 1935 and 1942 when they were converted into air ambulances for the newly formed No.2 Air Ambulance Unit. The last RAAF Gannets were scrapped in 1946."@en . "240"^^ . . . . "8"^^ . "6"^^ . . "553"^^ . . "3234"^^ . "6"^^ . . . "\"A14 Wackett Gannet\""@en . "5200"^^ . "3.5"^^ . "2"^^ . "Airliner"@en .
