Fairey Albacore
The Fairey Albacore was a British single-engine carrier-borne biplane torpedo bomber built by Fairey Aviation between 1939 and 1943 for the Fleet Air Arm and used during the Second World War. It had a three-man crew and was designed for spotting and reconnaissance as well as delivering bombs and torpedoes. The Albacore popularly known as the Applecore was conceived as a replacement for the aging Fairey Swordfish which had entered service in 1936.
The other puzzel is that the only Fairey Albacore MK II that
comes up in google would not need a jib, not being a boat at
