Quite a few Spearfish were exported to the Maldives for use as water taxis between the islands. A few still pop up in photographs taken by people holidaying on the islands.
There was a long standing relationship between Fairey Marine and the Maldive Islands. The Island's Governor ran a large Swordsman like craft for sometime.
A single Swordsman 33 was exported to the islands, but later sunk.
Military Fairey Trackers were also sold to the Islands.
Fantome No.8 and a Supermarine Swordfish also made their way there.
Information and images of any of the Maldives Faireys is sought and gratefully received.
