Re: Fairey swordfish
Find a book called "17 Seconds" in part it's about defusing German sea mines dropped over England as conventional light case bombs. I cannot speak to if the Swordfish did so but using sea mines as bombs was an established German tactic not a flight of fantasy as my parents can attest to having been on the receiving end.
