Looking through the archives of Fairey aircraft I have discovered a design for a Torpedo Spotter Reconnaissance Aircraft . Their is a footnote that refers to potential names . So for ease of reference lets call it the Swordfish . It was a design to meet the needs of the Greek Naval Air Service . However their interest waned . The Royal Navy showed an interest but the prototype crashed . Factions inside Fairey decided that biplanes were a thing of the past and instead we saw the Fairey Barracuda which first flew in late 1937
Would a slow , biplane torpedo bomber have been of any use in WW 2 or was it an inter war design that came too late.
