The Regeneration Of LS326 has been only one element of bringing the aircraft back on to the display circuit. With a gap of more than four years since a Swordf ish last flew with the RNHF (W5856 on September 20,2003), finding suitably qualified aircrew to fly the aircraft posed another challenge. Of those pilots still serving with the Navy, only Cdr Adrian Orchard, Lt-Cdr Mike Abbey and Lt-Cdr Dave MacKay RNR had flown the 'Fish before, and obviously none of them was current on type. Adrian and Dave were now assigned to flying the Hawker Sea Fury.
