Paul's Trumpeter 1/32 Fairey Swordfish Mk.I

Interestingly I've found a site where the crews are listed

It seems for the Bismarck attack 3 man crews were used

This is why I love the hobby, you gain such a large amount of info on the subject as you go.

Thanks again Dave
Paul

It was all dependant on weight and payload. 1 crew member = 200lbs in weight. So factor in distance, fuel and ordinance gives you how many crew you could afford to carry!!

Thanks for your input Doug. Always good to hear from those that know.

So true. I've often spent the whole evening researching, and not actually building anything !
