Last week we welcomed a team from Windfall Films to film the Navy Wings Swordfish for an upcoming documentary about the sinking of the Bismarck on the National Geographic channel. As soon as we know when the programme will be shown on TV, we will let you know.

Triumphant at Taranto, protected convoys in the Battle of the Atlantic and crippled the Bismarck. This national treasure sits at the heart of our heritage. It is of course the venerable Swordfish! #flynavy

Our engineers have completed a 10 hourly check on the Swordfish, as well as a 50 hourly on the Harvard. The Wasp also had its 50 hourly, and had the blades removed for X-Ray to look for signs of corrosion or cracks. Thankfully, all is well, and the Wasp is ready for action.
