Photo Comment

This aircraft was built in Akron, OH and allocated the BuNo 14862. After serving with the Royal Navy it arrived at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in 1963 and is now on display in Hall 2. In 2000 work was carried out to remove all exterior layers of paint and so this scheme is the original factory markings.
