Default Fleet Air Arm, Part 3 - faa33-Chesapeake.jpg (1/1) [88K]

Vought Sikorski Chesapeake (SB2U Vindicator), one of about 50 diverted from a
French order in 1940, being painted up ready for its first crew with 811
Squadron, 1941. Not a great success, the Cheesecake as it was known was
replaced by the Swordfish!
