Yep, it's quite a big bird.
I had to tow the RN Historic Flight's Swordfish, on grass, with my SWB Land Rover, back in the mid 1990's.
The crew were concerned that I didn't pull the tail wheel off and, when I asked them how much it weighed, and they replied " Eight tons", I was more concerned that I didn't pull off the 'Rover's rear cross-member !!
