Superior to the Swordfish?

摘要

The Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment test pilots from Martlesham Heath remarked that the Shark was "stable in all directions for all speeds and all conditions of loading, engine on or off". In a dive, important for the aircraft's role as a dive-bomber and torpedo bomber, "the aircraft was steady throughout, there being no vibration or instability. The controls were moved through small angles at the highest speeds attained with proper response and without any control surface instability or vibration resulting". The cockpit was "roomy, easy to enter and leave, there is no undue noise", but "very cold and draughty."
