72modeler Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Here are some very nice detail photos of RCAF and restored Swordfish. Some excellent closeups of the canopy fitted to many Canadian Stringbags. Enjoy!

JWM Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Some interesting photos, thank you for sharing. I think first time I saw green/brown on Swordfish (Fairey Swordfish Mk. II (Serial No. HS469), FB 3S 126A, C-GRCN, 1943, Shearwater Aviation Museum, Nova Scotia.) Rgerads J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at the cover of the TBU #135 booklet I published (and gave you a copy of) 30 years ago. K8871 (J) from FAA No.785 Squadron in 1941 also wears Temperate Land Scheme... Would you like some Lecithin, sir? 🤣 Cheers Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
