Airfix - Fairey Swordfish Mk.1 'Sink The Bismarck' -
1:72 (A50133)
At 19:25 on May 26th 1941, the Ark Royal launched its Fairey Swordfish
torpedo bombers for an attack on the German battleship Bismarck. In a final
attack, almost in darkness at 21:05, a hit by a single torpedo from a
Swordfish of 818 NAS (piloted by John Moffat) jammed Bismarck’s rudder and
steering gear. Now unable to escape, Bismarck was sunk by HMS King George V
and HMS Rodney on the following day.
