The Swordfish had far too illustrious a career to be encapsulated quickly, but we've noted 3 remarkable actions with these Pop Art fridge magnets which graphically illustrate the courage of their young crews . 

Approx 76mm x 51mm

Commander Charles Lamb was always in the thick of the action from the sinking of Courageous, through attacking E boats at Dunkirk, pathfinding for the raid on Taranto attacking shipping in the Mediterranean and the defence of Malta.

'This is a rare tale of determination, action and spirit by a man who was an inspiration to those around him. There is no finer account of war in the Fleet Air Arm'.

Paperback.

Commemorating the endeavour and achievements of the Fleet Air Arm.

Products include mugs, enamel badges, embroidered patch and keyring.

The Fleet Air Arm have numerous battle honours of which they are justly proud, but bravery isn't just about combat. Flying from moving ships at sea, often in appalling conditions, is courageous in itself without the added hazards of dangerous combat mission. During both world wars and in global conflicts since, Fleet Air Arm pilots have willingly and enthusiastically strapped themselves into their aircraft and taken off into all weathers and often against the odds.

So many eminent writers have written excellent books about the Swordfish and the actions for which it is most famous - Taranto, Bismarck, Channel Dash etc. 

The Swordfish is known for these actions, but they far from define its capability.

We have concentrated on the aircraft, its versatility, its ability to operate in conditions where others couldn't and, most importantly, its crews. All this with reference to its operational tasking and environment rather than specific actions.

We have drawn on a range of sources, but in particular the autobiographies of a number of Swordfish crew members.

It's crammed with over 40 pages of information and pictures and we hope you find it a fascinating read..........and it's free!

We hope you enjoy it.

Three classic and much loved helicopters who earned the admiration of their crews through decades of hardworking and reliable service. This commemorative badge is a tribute not only to the aircraft but also to generations of brave aircrews who work tirelessly, often in appalling conditions, and have saved countless lives. 3.75" x 4.75"

Raise a glass to the Fleet Air Arm with this classic glass pint tankard.

The ever popular Fly Navy logo is carefully etched rather than printed so it will last forever and not disappear courtesy of the dishwasher.

Exclusive to Navy Wings.

Cheers!

One tends to think of promotional brochures as being associated with a new car or double glazing rather than (what was) a state of the art warplane.

However, we have obtained a rare original Hawker Aircraft Ltd brochure extolling the capabilities of the Sea Fury from which we have made faithful reproductions. It gives details of the specifications, variants, usage and performance of this great aircraft as it was promoted to the public and military customers across the globe in the 1950's. 

If you're a fan of this superb aircraft, this will tell you all you need to know and is an essential addition to any collection.

Perfect for your annual Taranto dinner party!

Both offer details of the Naval Air Squadrons involved, the individual aircrews, the aircraft and their markings, munitions carried, flight movements, damage inflicted etc.

They are both a history lesson and a commemoration of a highly successful, innovative and critical naval air action in which individuals demonstrated extreme courage.

Success at Taranto changed the balance of power in the Mediterranean. This not only had dramatic repercussions in naval terms, but also in assisting the North African Campaign and providing the blue print for the Japanese to attack at Pearl Harbour. It started the decline in importance of the capital ship as the aircraft carrier rose to the ascendant.

The story of the FAA in Northern Ireland in war and peace. An interesting social and military history.

Paperback.

The moving story of youths turning to young men as they fight a well equipped and determined enemy with outmoded equipment and often in appalling conditions. Perhaps lacking the glamour of flying from the great carriers, those who flew from MAC ships (merchant ships converted to carry aircraft) nonetheless made a huge contribution to winning the Battle of the Atlantic.

Sub Lt Stanley Brand pranged W5856, the world's oldest flying Fairey Swordfish, in 1944 due to an engine failure on take off. We're happy to report that W5856 currently resides in our hangar and is a very popular addition at air displays around the UK.

Paperback.

An amazing man who had an amazing life. The two combine to make an amazing read. If it was fiction it would seem too far fetched to be credible. The story of a man whose contribution to aviation in general, and naval aviation in particular, extended far beyond the end of WWII. A man whose world records and numerous 'firsts' will never be challenged and nor will his title of 'The World's Greatest Test Pilot'.

New: Poppies at Sea remembrance cards

For many service men and women, remembering comrades can be an everyday affair.

These cards can help convey your thoughts.

Containing the Poem:-

No grave to mark the man.
No cross, alone or serried ranked.
No poignant blooms to salute the loss or the love
Or the tragedy of fading memories.
 
On steel steed and white horsed plain they did their duty.
They fought and gave and gave their all and,
When all was done, they took the sea's embrace.
 
Somewhere, a gypsy ripple monument roams tirelessly still.
A metamorphic headstone.
Improperly anonymous.
Incongruously humble.
 
Named and nameless, fathers and sons, warriors all.
Now fathoms deep, at peace on pillows of softest sand,
Their drifting spirits but gentle shadows, dancing forever with sunbeams.
 
At the going down of the sun,
And in the morning,
Remember the poppies that grow on the wind harrowed meadows of the sea
