This TBM was accepted from GM by the Navy in March 1945 and went on to serve at various Naval stations around the US until being placed in storage during April 1954. A civil career as a tanker followed, after which she was saved from the scrapman and underwent a long period of restoration. She was finally loaded onto the USS Midway during 2006 and is now on display on the Hangar Deck of this superb museum.

This Avenger was TOC by the USN during June 45 but too late to see combat in the Pacific. Instead it spent its service life in various training units before being retired in 1962. It then served as a fire bomber until 1988 before being acquired by the Marine Corps museum. It is now on display at the Flying Leathernecks museum in the colours of VMTB-132 aboard USS Cape Gloucester in the East China Sea during July 1945. The side-on shot is all wing so I chose this angle for more detail.

Later it operated as a spray plane and then on forestry protection duties before being sold to a French aircraft preservation group (hence the previous F-WQON reg.) and is now under restoration to flying condition by the CWHM.

This venerable old Avenger was delivered to the Navy in Nov. 42 and served in the Pacific on board USS Enterprise, USS Saratoga and with VF-12 on Guadalcanal. She was SOC in July 1945 and became a Hollywood film prop before being acquired by Yanks in 1980. She is now undergoing restoration, part of which included removing lots of Japanese 27 mm bullets from her tail!.
