EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment three Fairey Swordfish aircraft from No. 822 (Transport and Reconnaissance) Squadron fly over the iconic Forth Bridge in Scotland, in November 1937. The Swordfish, a biplane torpedo bomber and reconnaissance aircraft, was a mainstay of the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm during the early years of World War II. With its distinctive curved wings and large floatplane undercarriage, the Swordfish was well-suited to operating from the decks of aircraft carriers. The Forth Bridge, an engineering marvel of its time, spans the Firth of Forth and connects the towns of North Queensferry and South Queensferry. Opened in 1890, it was the longest cantilever bridge in the world at the time and remains an iconic symbol of Scottish industrial heritage. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, with the Swordfish planes appearing almost dwarfed by the towering structure of the bridge. The image also provides a reminder of the vital role that aviation played in the defense and transportation of the United Kingdom during the interwar period. The three aircraft, flying in formation, seem to be on a routine training mission, their wings casting long shadows on the water below. The photograph is a testament to the skill and bravery of the pilots and crew of No. 822 Squadron, who would go on to play a crucial role in the defense of the UK during World War II.
