Fairey Swordfish Tapestries
Description: Stringbag Salute, the Royal Navy aircrew salute on a flypast at RNAS Yeovilton with the White Ensign flying proudly. The Fairey Swordfish was given the nickname Stringbag, not because of its biplane struts, spars and braces, but because of the seemingly endless variety of equipment that the aircraft was cleared to carry. Like a shopping bag, it could carry anything!
Description: Vintage aviation reference chart featuring the Fairey Albacore, the British torpedo bomber developed as the successor to the Swordfish and introduced in 1939 for carrier operations during the early years of the Second World War. Perfect for aviation historians, aircraft modellers, Fleet Air Arm enthusiasts, and fans of classic aircraft diagrams.
