No.I don't see Albacore anywhere here.
If you're happy enough with fabric-covered biplanes for the dual divebomber/torpedo role both the Swordfish and Albacore can do it. But IMO the FAA should have striven for more when calling for the dual role Skua. If the late 1930s IJN and USN can have all-metal, monoplane torpedo and dive bombers (albeit in separate aircraft), so can the Brits. That's the tender that should have gone to Blackburn......
"we want to replace your Sharks now in fleet service with an all metal, monoplane, retractable undercarriage type that can dive bomb to over 70' degrees and carry a torpedo. Now get to work. In the meantime, make us some more Sharks instead of whatever those chaps at Fairey are thinking of."
Make the Skua into a divebomber capable of carrying 1,000 lbs. in bombs or a torpedo and I think history would look more kindly on the poor bastards in the design shop at Blackburn. We won't do it with a Perseus though.
