[edit] Design and development

It is stated "Two of this type were completed, VB893 and VB895 although there is no evidence as to whether either actually flew.", whilst in Testing and evaluation it says "Seafang FR 32, VB895, was flown by noted test pilot Mike Lithgow in May 1947 during deck landing trials on HMS Illustrious."Dirk P Broer 00:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
