Displayed as P4139, a Fairey Swordfish I of 813 Naval Air Squadron, this is really HS618 and has previously been displayed at various times as V6105 and W5984. HS618 was built under license by Blackburn and delivered to 834 Naval Air Squadron in May 1943 where it went on to serve on the Escort Carrier HMS 'Hunter' in the north Atlantic. During bad weather a Seafire broke loose in the hangar deck and struck HS618 and it was written off, although it continued to serve as an instructional airframe.

The oldest surviving airworthy Swordfish in the world, built in 1941 by Blackburn Aircraft. She was operated by the RN's Mediterranean Fleet but returned to Fairey's Stockport factory for refurbishment during 1942/43 before being transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy in 1944 for use in the training role. Post war she spent time in the reserve before going into private hands and was purchased by Sir William Roberts for his Strathallan Collection, arriving in August 1977. Bought by British Aerospace in 1990, over the next three years she was restored to flying condition and gifted to the RNHF.

The oldest surviving airworthy Swordfish in the world, built in 1941 by Blackburn Aircraft. She was operated by the RN's Mediterranean Fleet but returned to Fairey's Stockport factory for refurbishment during 1942/43 before being transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy in 1944 for use in the training role. Post war she spent time in the reserve before going into private hands and was purchased by Sir William Roberts for his Strathallan Collection, arriving in August 1977. Bought by British Aerospace in 1990, over the next three years she was restored to flying condition and gifted to the RNHF.
