The TDR had a cockpit with manual controls, when it went on a remote-control mission, the cockpit was faired over.
If you look in the photo I posted above, you can see one of the crewmen securing the cockpit cover. You can also see the TV camera and radar equipment exposed in the nose area, prior to the cover being put in place.

It's really beginning to fascinate me more and more, thanks Dave.

First time I've heard of a TDR-1. Like Wayne, learn something new every day.
Thanks Dave!

Aerial-reconnaissance view of the landing ground at Sidi Barrani, Egypt, occupied by the Axis air forces following evacuation by the RAF on 26 June 1942. The photograph shows 15 Junkers JU 52s on the south-west boundary unloading, and 75 other aircraft dispersed around the perimeter, one of which is burnt out and another on fire.

I've found that CV-36 U.S.S Antietam and CV-37 U.S.S. Princeton had their keels laid in Philadelphia Shipyards in 1943. Don't know if it's these two or not.

IIRC there is one hanging the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola. Also tests where carried out on one of the two Great Lakes carriers (USS Wolverine or USS Sable) according to the book, "Lake Michigan's Aircraft Carriers".

Check out the "drones in the pacific" thread by Bobbysocks in the aviation videos section, it shows these TDR's flying against a ship.
