Fairey Spearfish

A Fairey Spearfish at Manchester International Airport in March 1946.

The Fairey Spearfish was a British carrier-based torpedo bomber/dive bomber that was ordered from Fairey Aviation for the Fleet Air Arm during World War II. It was accepted into service in November 1943, although production was delayed when Fairey redesigned the controls in order to improve the steering characteristics.
