The exact identity of this Swordfish is unknown, but it was probably manufactured by Blackburn Aircraft Company Limited in Great Britain for the Royal Navy, and shipped to Canada. It was purchased in the early postwar years by farmer Ernest V. Simmons from Tillsonburg, Ontario, who bought a considerable amount of surplus war material, including around eight Fairey Swordfish. One of them was purchased by the Museum in 1965 and assigned a fictitious serial number corresponding to that of a Swordfish flown in Canada during the Second World War.
