Re: Form 543 - No. 2 R.C. Cardington
Hi Larry
Thank you for confirming that the Swordfish aeroplane continued in service through to 1945. I do recall my grandad 30 years ago telling me that it was 'windy' as the cockpit and gunner pit was open to the elements and that he made a comment that summed up that the plane belonged in an earlier war, namely the 1914-18 war.
Knowing my grandad, he would try something new or exciting, especially the latter as I know he did Commando training and also took part in large scale Combined Ops Exercises.
It might be like you say that he decided it was not for him or perhaps a suggestion he might be suitable.
