Hmmm...okay, this is one I have tucked away;


Shouldn't be TOO difficult.

Jeff W.

PS. I remember reading about the Blackburn Airedale in a book by ex-Westland test pilot Harald Penrose 'British Aviation; The adventuring years 1920-1929.' (Putnams 1973).

PPS It's a quarter to five in the morning - I'm off! Be back in several hours to see if anyone has the answer....

Hi Jeff

My first thought was that it might be a Swordfish.

Hi Andy

Well, there are screamers - but I want more detail than that. Find out the Luftwaffe nickname for them.
