Hello,

The Swordfish was L7633/'G3Q' and it was lost in areas 'Dabs' or 'Whelks' (from Sturtivant's 'The Swordfish Story').

Best wishes/Håkan

Thank you, Håkan - and my compliments for WWII Biplane Fighter Aces - it's a great site!

The next question is: where are 'Dabs' or 'Whelks' situated?

Regards,

Bart
