07/07/2007. Designed to Spec. O.5/43 as a replacement for the Barracuda torpedo fighter. Three prototypes were ordered, the first (pictured) flew for the first time on July 5, 1945, followed by RA360 and RA363. Another two examples were built, RN241 and RN244, however, the latter never flew, and no further Spearfish were built. Power came from a 2,320 hp Bristol Centaurus. |
