Fairey Firefly Mk I (TT.I) Seen here in the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovliton, the Firefly was the last time the Royal Navy shoehorned a navigator into one of their carrier fighters! Theythought that the pilot needed a navigator to stop him getting lost at sea! Needless to say, this increased the size and weight of the aircraft, and reduced performance. Despite being powered by a Rolls-Griffon IIB engine of 1,735hp, the Firefly I could only manage 319 mph - this was 5 mph slower than a Merlin-powered Hawker Hurricane Mk I of 1940! This Firefly was sold to Svensk Flygtjänst AB of Sweden after conversion to a target tug, eventually being restored as an aircraft which took part on attacks on the Japanese Home Islands in 1945. #FaireyFirefly #FleetAirArm #RN #RoyalNavy #Pacific #Japan #HomeIslands #WW2 #history #photography #museum #aviation #avgeek #targettug #Sweden #yeovilton #FleetAirArmMuseum #navalaviation #fighter #aircraft #rollsroyce #rrgriffon

Supermarine Walrus I, Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton. The Walrus was designed to be an aircraft that could be catapulted from capital ships of the Royal Navy, but ended up being a most useful amphibian. As well as spotting naval gunfire, the Walrus provided excellent air/sea rescue service around the coast of Britain and in other areas. Some were supplied to the Republic of Ireland, and this preserved example is one of these. #amphibian #WW2 #royalnavy #aircraft #capitalship #navalhistory #navalaviation #naval #avgeek #FleetAirArm #FleetAirArmMuseum #yeovilton #supermarine #walrus #aviation #aviationgeek

Got a bonus pic for you today.
With every camera I've ever owned, I've got a shot that convinced me that I'd finally mastered the damn thing.
It might not be the best shot I ever took with that camera, but it's always the shot where the end result *exactly* matches how I saw the shot in my head when I took it.
This is that shot for my long-gone #Canon #5Dmk3.
If you've had that same experience, I'd love to see your shot too!

#onthisday in 1940, the #fleetairarm struck the #italiannavy's battle fleet in its anchorage at #taranto. This was a stunning success of a raid, leading to the permanent loss of one of the Italian's fleets modernised #dreadnought BBs (Cavour), and temporary disabling of two more, Duilio and Littorio. What is less well known is that this was the second successful raid by Swordfish against Italian vessels in a shallow anchorage. #ww2 #navalhistory #aviation
