    The Swordfish were the planes that struck the Bismark in the Atlantic, enabling the RN to go in and finish it off.

    Against 200 Luftwaffe planes over the Strait of Dover, though, and so many ships armed with anti-aircraft guns, in broad daylight, they stood no chance.

    Not even Wellingtons would have stood a chance.

    It was a heroic action, and the pilots must have known they stood no chance of returning home.
    The Defence of our Shores is vital, so we should erect a monument to this heroic battle.
