I believe all 3 Swordfish are down for a while with assorted problems – one of them has corrosion on the spars IIRC.
Ok thank you for the reply.

Thanks James!
Wondered myself about the stringbags… Always enjoyed seeing those 🙂 My guess is the RNHS rotate their aircraft and both Swordfish are now under maintenance…

Nice pics.
I’ve been trying to see the SeaHawk for a very long time now, but it always seems to evade me somehow. Does anybody know where it will perform this year?
Look at this: http://www.royalnavyhistoricflight.org.uk/Schedule.htm
BTW way what has happened to the two swordfish owned by RN Historic Flight

Burst tyre on landing.
I think I’ve actually posted that in Historic, before the new airshow forum.

Very nice, especially the Sea Fury and Sea Hawk!

Nice shots.
I went to Culdrose Airday many years ago (1986 ish?) but my only real memory is a Triumph Dolomite being dropped 250ft from under a SeaKing! Do they still do that kind of thing?
What’s the story with the Fire Crew and the Seahawk?
cheers
