Once again just looking at YOUTUBE and found this. I haven't seen this before and it is from 2011. Enjoy

Great looking "'fish"!
Stringbags are one of my favourite as my dad worked on them in WWII.

Thank you for sharing the video, Bob. I is good to see such an old plane flying.
Always have loved that FAA paint scheme... Great little video, Bob!
All the best,
Matt
I've been lucky enough to get close up to the Yeovilton Stringbag a couple of times - working in nearby Yeovil for 6 months was a great enabler!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
What would be the closest manoeuvre deck to use for a swordfish do you think?
Ignore me, I’ve found Zoe excellent slow aircraft rules. Thanks.
Would be a cool model to pair with the upcoming medium Italian bombers.
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
How brave would you have to be to fly one of those against the Bismarck?
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Under engined, under gunned and definitely under fire... incredible bravery

When I did that scenario with my six Swordfish, one of them actually got back Chris!

One advantage they had was that the German anti-aircraft guns were not calibrated for anything that flew so slowly but even so it must have taken incredible courage!
