CBK Fairey Swordfish Gallery

[bluesteel]

Matchbox (original 3 colour mould) 1/72nd Fairey Swordfish Mk III. Completed as NF370 of 119 Squadron Coastal Command, operating from RAF Bircham Newton in 1945.

A 'Blackfish Squared' as it was painted all black to operate in the Channel against German E Boats and Submarines, and the airframe was built by the Blackburn company, and Swordfish so built were known as 'Blackfish'. So this one being also pained black is a Blackfish Squared

The original has been restored and is on display at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford.
