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 RN Historic Flight's Swordfish fitted with a dummy torpedo performs a ceremonial flypast over the site of the WW2 RNAS Burscough (HMS Ringtail). The now closed airfield was used by many naval squadrons 1941-1946 for training and working up before deployment to carriers and front line bases.
