The Fairey Swordfish was a torpedo bomber built by the Fairey Aviation Company and used by the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy during the Second World War. Here she is coming home after hunting Submarines and the Bismark. It was a Swordfish that torpedoed and crippled the Bismark allowing her to be sunk. Various photographs (original plane, two skies, beach) shot with a Canon 5D MKII and combined with 3 lightly applied textures in Photoshop using layers, various blend modes and masks plus slight tweaks in Topaz Detail.
