Swordfish Drawings

I’ve been asked if anyone knows of any surviving Swordfish drawings, detailed enough to make parts, i’ve tried the ‘nationals’

any one, any other suggestions or have any ?

cheers

we have some stuff on Swordfish and as you may be aware we support the museum in Malta and have done from its beginning by rebuilding EN199.We also have som einfo on the rebuild of the Fleet Air Arm aircraft at Brough but as far as I am aware the info that was used went to Fleet Air Arm museum.As had been said Westlands do have a good bit of material belonging to Faireys as they inherited a lot of material and equipment including their windtunnel which I might add they are using presently.

You could also try Westland helicopters at Yeovil, as they inherited a large amount of Fairey drawings, also Brough heritage group “BAe Brough”, who may also have some of the drawings you are after.

Is some one planning a rebuild, or going to design a replica ?.

or perhaps for the Malta example?

Good starting point might be the Fleet Air Arm Museum at RNAS Yeovilton.
