Fairey Swordfish Mk.III

Another model of this very useful "fighter" has been designed to make searching for vessels of all kinds easier and faster.
At the beginning of 1943, the serial production of a new version of the Swordfish was started, which was designated MK.III. It was equipped with universal armament suspension points (for bomb racks or unguided missile racks) and an ASV Mk.XI airborne radar. Its antenna was located under the fuselage between the landing gear struts and was protected by a plastic overlay. The device itself then took the place of the radar observer, formerly the third crew member, in the crew cabin. One man was sufficient to operate the radar. Since the pilot was flying the aircraft, the second crew member became a "man of four faces". He was at the same time a radar operator, radio operator, observer and gunner.

A total of 320 Mk.IIIs were produced.
