Hi Trivial question. Anyone know the origin of the Swordfish Stringbag nickname?
I always thought it was due to the very visible wing wires making it look like, well, a stringbag. However I read the other day it was due to its reputation for being able to have almost any kit and weapons added to it, so like a bag. It is true that as the was progressed a wide range of weapons and sensors were fitted. But I pictured the nickname as being an early thing and before it's true versatility was seen.
