Swordfish Badge and Certificate.

[AndyD]

Hello,

I thought some of you may like to see this badge and certificate awarded to my Grandma for making Swordfish 'planes during the Second World War.

I've had the badge for a while,but have only recently got the certificate,which was found when my Mum was going through some of her Mothers things.

I don't know if they are rare,but I've certainly never seen another example!

Kind regards,

Andy

Sweet, very sweet! I love to see things on the forum that have a personal, family, connection.

I've never seen one of these. The closest I've got to this type of thing is the telephone company badge & certificate I posted a few weeks ago, nice little things to have especially with the family connection.

Leigh - nice to have you back. I agree a very nice item with the family connection.. What does amaze me is that they were still making them in 1944 !! Please correct me if I'm wrong , but if I remember the Swordfish was on our early aircraft carriers and were responsible for torpedoing the Bismarck ? However, would'nt we have had something more modern by this date ?
