Gordo - I have read that the Swordfish survived their torpedo runs
against Bismarck because a) the flak gun sights couldn't be set to an
airspeed low enough and b) none of the gunners believed the Stringbags
were so slow during the attack. So - topredo attack speed for a Lanc -
90 knots? (Not I, thank you!)
