That doesn't make it a 'bad' aircraft.

Like Hogenbor said, it was actually a sturdy aircraft capable of carrying a nice payload.
Can't deny that.

You have silly bias' that seem to require you to make up your mind without data.

Now, I could be wrong about what I recall, but at least I am not basing it on assumptions.  

If I were, I'd never give the Swordfish a second thought in the running for most Axis shipping sunk.
