Bringing back the Barracuda: museum rebuilds 'missing link' in UK aviation history
No complete examples of the plane remain, but one that crashed in 1944 is being painstakingly reconstructed.
The process is painstaking, fraught with difficulties and highly sensitive, but after a half-century wait, a labour of love to rebuild a "missing link" in the UK's military aviation history is coming to fruition.
Laid out on the floor of a cavernous hangar at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Somerset, the ghostly silhouette of a Fairey Barracuda torpedo and dive bomber fuselage is taking shape and over the next 10 years visitors will be able to watch as the plane is completely rebuilt.
Though 2,600 Barracudas were made for the Fleet Air Arm, more than any other aircraft ever ordered by the Royal Navy, no complete examples remain, having all either crashed or broken up, creating a gap that troubles historians, engineers and families of those that lost loved ones in the planes.
Early stages of the reconstruction of a WWII Fairey Barracuda MKII at RNAS Yeovilton in Somerset (21 Sep 2023).

Bringing back the Barracuda: museum rebuilds 'missing link' in UK aviation history
No complete examples of the plane remain, but one that crashed in 1944 is being painstakingly reconstructed.
The process is painstaking, fraught with difficulties and highly sensitive, but after a half-century wait, a labour of love to rebuild a "missing link" in the UK's military aviation history is coming to fruition.
Laid out on the floor of a cavernous hangar at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Somerset, the ghostly silhouette of a Fairey Barracuda torpedo and dive bomber fuselage is taking shape and over the next 10 years visitors will be able to watch as the plane is completely rebuilt.
Though 2,600 Barracudas were made for the Fleet Air Arm, more than any other aircraft ever ordered by the Royal Navy, no complete examples remain, having all either crashed or broken up, creating a gap that troubles historians, engineers and families of those that lost loved ones in the planes.
