Which Swordfish is this? I can make out the serial as LS32- then i think it is either 8 or 6. I assume it is an RNHF example? The fuselage roundel looks slightly out of proportion to me, what do you think?
The picture was taken at West Malling during the 80’s

Always nice to see 326 in its old camouflaged scheme.
Must have been taken before pre-1984 as I can’t see any D-Day stripes on the wings or fuselage
Thanks for posting it 🙂

Great stuff, thanks Ant. I look forward to it.
At airshows as a lad, my dad would always encourage me to wave at the mad basterds standing in the back seats of the Swordfish waving, with the Union Jack flying!
Here’s another picture of LS326 –
