Gloster Gladiator II at the Battle of Britain Hall, RAF Museum, Hendon, 13 September 2015. Operated by 61 OTU. The Gladiator fought mostly in Norway and the Western Desert (pitted against the Fiat CR42 &amp; CR32 biplanes, for example) and one squadron was even stationed to defend the naval Base in Plymouth during the Battle of Britain! But its most famous battle consisted of just three Sea Gladiators which successfully defended Malta against most of the Italian Air Force until relieving Hurricanes and Spitfires could be shipped there!
