What could Fairey F.2 aircraft have done at Jutland?

Very little: they were badly underpowered and could carry two Lewis guns but no meaningful additional weapon load.

The audience imagines a First World War carrier operating squadrons of Fairey F.2 aircraft at the Battle of Jutland. The machines were so underpowered that remaining airborne would have been an achievement in itself. Their useful combat load amounted essentially to two Lewis guns, leaving little capacity for an effective anti-ship weapon. The exchange turns a playful counterfactual into a compact lesson about why a maritime-patrol label does not by itself create useful fleet striking power.
