The Dutch Naval Air Service received 24 TBM-3W2 Avengers, equipped with APS-20 radar, from 1953. 16-104 and 16-108 are formally P-104 and P-108, the aircraft type letter P being the 16th letter in the alphabet. This serial presentation denoted naval aircraft. In a new serial system introduced in 1959, these two airframes became 046 and 048 respectively but they were scrapped in the following year.

Built in 1945 as FM-2 Bureau Number 86746. The FM-2 was the last version of the Wildcat and had a more powerful engine, the 1350 HP Wright R-1820-56 Cyclone. This required more vertical fin area resulting in the taller tail. The FM-2 was primarily assigned to the CVE carriers operated by the US Navy during WW 2.
