	Fairey Albacore - Biocrawler
		The Fairey Albacore was a single-engine carrier-borne biplane torpedo bomber built by Fairey Aviation between 1939 and 1943 for the Fleet Air Arm.
		The Albacore, popularly known as the "Applecore", was conceived as a replacement for the ageing Fairey Swordfish, which had entered service in 1936.
		However, the Albacore was destined to serve alongside the Swordfish and was ultimately retired before the older aircraft, being replaced by the monoplane Fairey Barracuda torpedo bomber.

	NAA Forum: Getting an old boat a measurement cert.
		As many of you will know, I have an old old Fairey marine Albacore, which was built as a MK2 but was fitted with a Fairey marine rotating mast which is still in use but was converted to fixed mast with swivelling gooseneck by chocking the base so it cant turn.
		If any clubs in that area were known for their Albacore fleet and still have detailed race results from that period it would be helpfull.
		I agree with Derek- an Albacore is an Albacore.

		The Albacore is a fast and lively while being relatively easy to learn to sail and race.
		Swept spreaders supporting a tapered mast with a powerful vang and adjustable sail controls allow a crew to depower in high winds - enabling both light and heavy crews to race head to head A very versatile boat, it is often sailed by husband/wife and parent child combinations.

		The enclosed cockpit Albacore that was supposed to replace the Swordfish but never did was an all aluminum aircraft.
		Antiquated as it was the Swordfish was a revered airplane and during the war years, with skilled pilots, it gave a good accounting of itself.
		The Albacore was technically a better airplane but there just was something about the helmet and goggles, open cockpit Swordfish with the wind whistling in the stranded strut wires between the wings and the smell of doped fabric and hot engine oil.

		Many would tip their wings into the water as they banked away after dropping their load and we all watched the rescue boats with anticipation as they sped towards the downed aircraft and we wondered if those pilots were safe and sound and would be rescued.
		Later they were replaced by Fairey Albacore Torpedo-Bombers and they had a range with torpedo of 930 miles.
		We were greatly interested in all those aeroplanes and knew such things that the Albacores had armaments of a forward firing 7.7 mm (0.303 inch) gun in the starboard wing and twin Vickers âKâ guns in the rear cockpit.

		The Fairey Swordfish is one of those aircraft that was probably well out dated by the time WW2 broke out, however, it was still being used in service in 1945, indicating how great a contribution it made in various parts of the war and even outlasted its supposed successor in the Fairey Albacore.
		It's most famous moment of glory is undoubtedly the contribution in the sinking of the Battleship Bismarck, and while to this day debate continues over exactly how the ship was sunk one storyline suggests that a Swordfish flown by Lt Cmdr Edmonde successfully torpedoed an aft section of the lumbering beast.
		The Fairey Swordfish Mk.I was effectively only in the war until about 1941 when it was replaced by updated Mk.II models.
