Why not try building a diorama display, with this and other items to support it, maybe tell a personal family history story, or just something that you have an interest in personally.

By 1939 the Fleet Air Arm had 13 squadrons equipped with the Swordfish Mark I. There were also three flights of Swordfish equipped with floats, for use off aircraft catapult-equipped warships. One operating from HMS Warspite during the Second Battle of Narvik in 1940, subsequently sank the U-boat U-64.
