Surviving Fairey Swordfish wrecks?

Can someone give information about surviving Swordfish wrecks in the world? Are there any wrecks for sale at this moment?

Any info is welcome. Also feel free to PM me or just send me an e-mail!

Thanks,

J.V.

I’ve just visited this warbird directory. Very interesting, but indeed a bit out of date. Is there any more recent info out there?

The Warbird Resourse Group have a listing of survivors on their site, though they seem to substantially referred to the Warbird Directory, which is quite a few years out of date now.

Most of the derelicts are from the Ernie Simmons collection which comprised ten or so airframes, and were auctioned in about 1970.

Swordfish

The latest edition of the “other” historic aviation monthly might prove to be a useful starting point.
