Great footage of the "Stringbag" an iconic Naval Aircraft - my father flew (Swordfish 4422 ) carrying VIP passengers on Liaison flights to the carriers and back out of RNAS Bherunda and Trincolamee (Sri Lanka) over the pacific fleet in 1944 when he wasn't flying his F4U Corsair. He said despite its size and relatively low power the Stringbag was surprisingly agile when light and was a joy to fly.

Not bad not bad at all. If you could get a directional microphone that would be even better. Over all not bad - good.
