[Thought I would repost this pic after drawing it by hand instead of tracing I used a few components from the original and thought this turned out fantastic ^^]

Classified as the most Dangerous of all aircraft in history the Cannibalistic Fairey Spearfish had a nasty reputation of eating enemy pilots or their own if ordered to do something they did not wish to do. Given only pistoles and a massive payload of two torpedos they kill a ship with one hit and even without weapons they tend to swarm larger creatures tearing into it without much effort. The last German battleships fell to these behemoths and with good reason their crews feared them.

I have a feeling that my 109 Fenrir learned to avoid these at all costs, even though the warheads and the ends of those warheads make a tempting target! XD
