While we're on about the Swordfish, we ought to recognise that one of the major factors over its long service was that it became a very successful anti-submarine aircraft. It carried rockets to deal with subs on the surface and could land back on a heaving escort carrier deck in a North Atlantic gale. Just imagine the bravery of the guys who did that job!

And its original designation? TSR1.
