Love this plane. Thanks to the Americans for passing quite a few on to the Fleet Air Arm - put to good use over Pangkalan Brandan, Pladjoe, Soengi Gerong, Sakashima Gunto and many other places with unpronounceable names!
I'm just glad they stopped calling it the 'Tarpon' ... Doesn't quite have the same ring to it!

Thanks

Actors Richard Boone, and Paul Newman flew as turret gunners in TBM's in WW2. Boone was and ordnanceman, Newman a radioman.

My hats off to your Dad, this video was a bit special because it may have been the last military aircraft to fly at the Grumann Ironworks Plant in front of many retired Grumman employees.

hate to break it to you, but that's NOT a Merlin engine. Merlin's are V-12 engines, usually in Mustangs, Spitfires, etc. The Avenger has a 1,700 hp Wright Cyclone twin row radial engine.
