Paul, water cooled engine. Radiator mounted high.
Gary, I don't sell any. I do the odd illustration for books, but I don't sell prints. The aviation market is so very small now, it just wouldn't be worth the time and effort.
Jonopen, true. it was the first plane to sink a ship with a torpedo. It also had folding wings for storage.
Thanks all again for your comments.

Thanks Codyhay, they must have been quite a sight lumbering along with a torpedo hung underneath.

I've read accounts of WW2 attacks on warships by biplanes (not this one, the swordfish) with a torpedo slung underneath and those guys would need nerves of steel - slow lumbering planes, flying low over the sea into a hail of fire. Wow.
