Re: Fairey Swordfish Camouflage 1943 onwards

Hi Larry

Thx again - have not xref'd to the book you mention - will do. Yes - 825 were aboard Furious flying S'Fish MkII aircraft in early '43 then land based prior to embarking on Vindex in Dec '43 with MkII aircraft and a section of Sea Hurricanes. My father left 825 in March '44.

On another matter (apologies you may know nothing about this!) my Dad ditched 3 times whilst in 825 - once on Furious and twice on Vindex. Do you know of any "Air Accident" type records I could check for details?

Best
