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!

Not a well-thought of plane here, either. Also, the correct British name
is Chesapeake, though I can see how that would be run into Cheesecake.
