My entry to the WWII contest. The venerable Stringbag. Otherwise known as the Fairey Swordfish T. Mk 2. She swings to the left on takeoff, so compensate with the rudder or you will ground loop. Action group 1 activates the rear gunner position and VTOL controls the rear gun. Be careful or you will, in effect, shoot yourself down. Good hunting, chaps.

    Swings to the left on takeoff, like all good single-engine prop aircraft! Very realistic!
