I have seen several photographs of Swordfish from 836 squadron including LS434 and LS225, aboard different MAC ships with Chef’s Head nose art and the logo Benvorlich. I know that Benvorlich is one of the Munros and there was also a ship named Benvorlich which was sunk by a Condor aircraft but what is the connection if any with these Swordfish?

Thanks for that. Any idea of the significance of “Benvorlich”?
The first photo I saw made me think it was an individual aircraft name but it seems that all aircraft of the flight carried it.

The “Chef” was actually a Baker – the aircraft were from ‘B’ (Baker) Flt of 836 NAS aboard the MAC ship Empire MacMahon
