The fifth prototype of the final version of the Barracuda. Fitted with a RR Griffin engine because the Merlin-engined Barracuda was considered underpowered. With World War II over and the Royal Navy's needs changing, only 37 were built. Photo from: Imperial War Museums This photo was added on 31 December 2024, and has since been viewed 136 times. |
