Fairey swordfish

[chuckfourth]

Thank Christ.
Talk about shadow boxing phantoms.
Well I guess that though the Mk 3 mine was designed to be dropped from mosquito 4000 lb bomb gear that the swordfish didnt have, the armourer could have used some rope to attach it.
And why would you use the bombs the plane can carry when you can jury rig a mine with a impact fuse. Dont worry if you set it off and sink the ship, we really dont want to use these bombs.
You say "Dimensionally equivalent to the MkI" the ref only mentions that it is simlar, it may easily have been bigger and heavier.
There is also the problem of the service dates, the mine is available from 36 onwards but when did the A MARK III enter service I wonder?
Mk III and MkIII*** would be the same mine, they no doubt forgot to add the *** footnote.
Best Regards Chuck

If only Chuck were put to good use on the game WWII Online - it would finally be realistic.

Chuck - you rule.
