Nice on Jack, of an often overlooked torpedo bomber.
This shot by the great Charles E Brown. Note the Blackburn Roc trailing.

The Albacore was extinct as a type until one was reconstructed from remains with a lot of scratchbuilding, and delivered to the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton.
No, it's not airworthy, not is there ever likely to be one fly again - at least we have one, remarkably accurate looking, preserved for future generations.
