Formal Royal Navy Airframes

Posted by Mike Henniger on Wed Mar 19, 2003 01:59:38 PM

There are a few formal RN airframes that do, or once did, appear on the civil register.

#1 Swordfish Mk I, W5856: This one was once registered G-GMGC. Does it have a currrent registration or is a static display someplace now?

#2 Swordfish Mk II, LS326: Did this one ever appear on the civil register? I think it is with the Royal Navy Historic Flight now. Is it currently maintained airworthy or is it a static display.

#3 Firefly AS.6, WB271: This one belongs to the FAA Historical Museum. Is it currently a flyer? If so, what is the c/r?

Thanks in advance for any info anyone may have.

Regards,

Mike
