This Swordfish was built by Blackburn Aircraft at Sherburn-in-Elmet in July 1944. It had no service history and was acquired by Fairey Aviation. After several years storage at Ringway it was given to the airport fire service in August 1954 with the inevitable result that the historic aircraft was lost to posterity.

540 Squadron Canberra PR.3 at Heathrow North. On Coronation Day three Canberras were used to transport the BBC's coverage of event across the Atlantic for 'same-day' viewing by our Canadian friends - hence the aircraft is fitted with wing tip tanks.. Aircraft allocated were PR3s WE136, WE140, and WE142, with B2 WD987 as reserve. WE140 did not actually make the Transatlantic trip due to a faulty radio compass.
