Fairey Barracuda
#55

Just astonishing!

Ex ungue leonem - "one may recognize the lion by his paw." :wink:


I'm not quite clear from the drawings posted here whether the Barracuda had any dihedral on the wing top surface. Some drawings seem to suggest it had a couple of degrees, others make it look as though the top surfaces were at zero degrees, with all effective dihedral on the lower surfaces only.

Re the wings: I see in the Pilot's Notes that this machine had two remote fire extinguishers, one in the port wing, the other in the starboard for the respective tanks.


Edit: needs a few windows cut into the new keel.
