I just love the big US carrier planes.

 

[Wayne Little]

Another TBM, ALMOST identical....

 

[A4K]

I do love the Avenger... Thanks for the Pics, Wayne!

 

[Wurger]

I'm with A4K.

 

[Catch22]

Don't see many with radar.

And they removed the rear gun. Did they remove the complete turret mechanism too to reduce weight?

 

[Wurger]

Possible.

Interesting, I would like to see someone pursue this topic. Where to start??

 

[pbfoot]

The RCN Avengers were faired over with no Turret for most of it's career and used as ASW with MAD and all

 

[Matt308]

That certainly would make more sense, Pb. Why haul all that weight around if its unused and unneeded.

 

[Wayne Little]

A couple more of this TBM....

 

[Heinz]

Hey awesome shots Wayne, I love the Avenger too!

 

[Wurger]

Nothing to add. :THX Wayne !!!!!
