A2A RAF & Royal Navy types ...

Wed Dec 12, 2012 9:29 pm

Could use some help from the Commonwealth guys with information on these photos. They came with no data or sources but I believe they came from the IWM archives. I'll try to label as many images as I feel I may get correct. Sorry in advance if I mess them up. They are wonderful shots though of some very nice looking aircraft. The Swordfish especially as it's one of the many I've always liked. For those who are interested and can provide types, dates, locations etc. much appreciated.
