Having been very excited to have finally gotten to see a Swordfish fly a few weeks ago at Old Sarum and having read the book entitled “Stringbag: The Fairey Swordfish At War” by David Wragg, it’s quite easy for me to express that I love the Swordfish!

This article was wonderful to read, and it is to men like Mr. Moffat and his squadronmates (along with the maintainers that kept them in the air) that we owe such an enormous debt to. Their sacrifice should never be forgotten.

Speaking on behalf of your friends across the pond, THANK YOU Mr. Moffat for what you did for the U.K. and for the Allied war effort.

Thanks again for sharing!
