What British planes flew from British carriers?
I've got Gladiators and Swordfish. Anything else? |

Sea Hurricane, Seafire, Albacore, Firefly, Fulmar, Skua, Roc, Barracuda |

Some non-British planes (such as Corsairs and Martlets) also flew from RN carriers, if you're interested in that, too. |

Even a Mosquito, as an experiment. |

I don't think that the Roc ever deployed on carriers, the R also deployed Hellcats and Avengers, know breifly as Tarpons. Fatman |

A further challenge…waht planes on which carriers?
Furious, Glorious, Implacable, etc,?
Everything I have indicates number of planes but, what types…? |

That depends on date. Illustrious had Fulmars and Swordfish at the time of her famous raid on the Italian fleet at Taranto, but later on she carried Corsairs and Avengers. |
